Cardinals fire offensive, defensive coordinators

Josh Weinfuss on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 5:52 PM EST

I was told most of the Cardinals' assistants were let go, including both coordinators, OC Byron Leftwich and DC Al Holcomb.

Fantasy Impact:

Leftwich was promoted in October when Mike McCoy was let go, now QB Josh Rosen will have to work with his third OC in less than a year. The Cards offense did improve a bit under Leftwich as his goal was to run the offense through guys like David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald.

Steelers WR Antonio Brown benched in Week 17 because of skipped practices

Post-Gazette

Dec 31, 2018 · 5:47 PM EST

Steelers receiver Antonio Brown did not play in the season-ending game against the Cincinnati Bengals because he elected to sit out practice last week after a dispute with Ben Roethlisberger, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has learned.

Several sources said the Steelers’ decision to not play Brown against the Bengals had nothing to do with any type of knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The Post-Gazette story is an interesting read and goes on to say the disagreement occurred Wednesday morning during a routine walk-through practice that precedes their regular afternoon practice on the South Side. Brown was disgusted and threw a football in Roethlisberger’s direction, several sources said. He did not attend Saturday’s walk-through practice and skipped the Saturday night meeting at the team hotel — the latest in missed meetings by the All-Pro receiver. Brown was never on the field for the start of the game against the Bengals and left Heinz Field at halftime, according to multiple sources. According to several sources, Brown showed up at Heinz Field expecting to play against the Bengals. That surprised several players, including one who called the situation “embarrassing” and “the worst I’ve seen.” That player said the entire situation and the way it was handled affected his desire to play in the game.

Bills expect to bring back RB LeSean McCoy

Mike Rodak on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 3:45 PM EST

Brandon Beane reiterates LeSean McCoy is part of the team’s plans in 2019.

Fantasy Impact:

Beane feels the Bills can improve other areas of the offense to help McCoy. “LeSean will come back in 2019 and we’ll go from there,” he said, according to the rest of the tweet.

No surgery for Titans QB Marcus Mariota

Terry McCormick on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 3:43 PM EST

Marcus Mariota said there is no surgical procedure that needs to be done.

Fantasy Impact:

Mariota is dealing with a nerve issue but the rest of the tweet went on to say he just has to get healthy and rest.

Buccaneers owner Jason Licht says QB Jameis Winston will be back

Greg Auman on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 2:49 PM EST

Jason Licht: “Jameis Winston will be here next year.”

Fantasy Impact:

Licht said the team has no plans to cut Winston. As the story said, it shouldn't be much of a surprise because the team played Winston over the final weeks of the season - had he suffered an injury it would have guaranteed his contract for 2019. Winston was suspended and benched twice in 2018, and as the story pointed out, he has 76 turnovers in 56 games.

Falcons overhaul coaching staff

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 1:18 PM EST

Atlanta is overhauling its coaching staff, letting go of offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coach Keith Armstrong, per sources. Major changes for the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Dan Quinn will serve as defensive coordinator moving forward, the team announced Monday. Sarkisian took over the offense from Kyle Shanahan, who is now coaching in San Francisco, but never lived up to expectations.

Eagles QB Nick Foles has bruised ribs

Mike Garafolo on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 11:37 AM EST

Eagles QB Nick Foles has bruised ribs.

Related players: Nate Sudfeld, Carson Wentz

Fantasy Impact:

Tests Monday revealed no break, sources told Rapoport. The expectation is he’s good to go Sunday vs. the Bears.

Bengals fire HC Marvin Lewis after 16 years

NFL.com

Dec 31, 2018 · 11:32 AM EST

Marvin Lewis' 16-year run as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals is over.

Following a third straight losing season, the Bengals fired Lewis on Monday. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Lewis informed the coaching staff he would not return and that the decision to fire Lewis was made by team owner Mike Brown.

Fantasy Impact:

Lewis became Cincinnati's head coach in 2003 and made the playoffs seven times. The Bengals, however, failed to move beyond the first round of the postseason under Lewis and amassed six losing seasons, including the past three campaigns. There were especially some struggles over the last three years as OC Ken Zempese and DC Teryl Austin were fired.

Dolphins HC Adam Gase fired Monday

ESPN

Dec 31, 2018 · 11:26 AM EST

Adam Gase on Monday was fired as coach of the Miami Dolphins after three seasons, and the team will begin a search to find the franchise's fourth full-time coach this decade.

The Dolphins announced general manager Chris Grier will be promoted to oversee football operations, while Mike Tannenbaum will be reassigned to another position. The next coaching hire will report directly to Grier -- and not owner Stephen Ross, as had been the case with Gase.

Fantasy Impact:

Gase couldn't escape the mediocrity that has followed the Dolphins since 2000. He finished 23-25, with his lone playoff game being a wild-card loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2016. A rumor that the trust between Gase and Ross had eroded recently.

Broncos fire HC Vance Joseph

ESPN

Dec 31, 2018 · 11:21 AM EST

Having just completed their first back-to-back losing seasons since the early 1970s, the Denver Broncos fired Vance Joseph on Monday, a day after the team finished 6-10.

Fantasy Impact:

Joseph, who still has two years remaining on the four-year deal he signed in 2017, lasted just 32 games with the team. The Broncos now are on the hunt for the fourth head coach in John Elway's tenure as the Broncos' top football executive. Denver was 5-11 in his first year.

Cardinals to fire HC Steve Wilks

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 9:31 AM EST

Sources: Cardinals coach Steve Wilks has told his staff during a meeting that he will not be the coach going forward. He has not yet heard it official from owner Michael Bidwill. But that is what he has told his staff.

Fantasy Impact:

Wilks had just one year in Arizona but managed the Cards to the worst offense in the league. It started up front as the offensive line wasn't good and Mike McCoy was fired early on as the OC. Wilks came over after a season as the DC in Carolina and early reports said he could end up back there.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon, TE Hunter Henry expected to play in WC round

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 9:25 AM EST

Despite limping off in Sunday’s fourth quarter, Chargers RB Melvin Gordon is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, per source.

Chargers TE Hunter Henry, who tore his ACL during the off-season, also is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon is now dealing with an ankle injury as well as a knee injury. Meanwhile, Henry returns after an ACL injury back in the offseason. Henry is probably a risky play for those in playoff leagues, but you have to think he'll at least get his snaps in while in the red zone.

Raiders hire Mike Mayock as GM

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 31, 2018 · 9:21 AM EST

Raiders are hiring NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock as their general manager, league sources tell ESPN. The announcement will be made as early as today.

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders have the No. 4 overall pick in the draft, as well as the first-round picks belonging to the Cowboys and Bears.

Jaguars: RB Leonard Fournette's remaining guarantees now voided

News4Jax

Dec 31, 2018 · 9:18 AM EST

A person familiar with the situation says the Jacksonville Jaguars have notified running back Leonard Fournette that his suspension late last month voided the remaining guarantees in his four-year rookie contract.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Sunday night. The person said the Jaguars notified Fournette of the action weeks ago. Fournette could challenge the decision.

Fantasy Impact:

Fournette's future with the franchise has become increasingly uncertain, the story said, and his standing with the team reached a new level of unrest Sunday in the season finale at Houston. Fournette and fellow running back T.J. Yeldon spent most of the game on the bench, disengaged from teammates. Top executive Tom Coughlin ripped both players for being "disrespectful" and "selfish," adding that their behavior was "unbecoming of a professional football player."

Schefter: Eagles QB Nick Foles expected to be OK

Adam Teicher on Twitter

Dec 30, 2018 · 8:11 PM EST

Eagles believe QB Nick Foles has bruised ribs and they think he’s OK, per source.

Related players: Carson Wentz, Nate Sudfeld

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles knocked off Washington, and with a Bears win over the Vikings, advanced to the playoffs. So, the status of Foles going forward will be key. The Eagles travel to Chicago next weekend for the first round and Foles appears like he should be OK to start.

Buccaneers fire HC Dirk Koetter

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 30, 2018 · 8:07 PM EST

Post-season firings are underway: Buccaneers relieved HC Dirk Koetter of his duties, source tells ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Black Monday gets an early start with a Sunday firing. The Bucs have a tough decision to make at the QB position going forward as Jameis Winston wasn't all that impressive and barely held off Ryan Fitzpatrick for the starting job.

Panthers QB Kyle Allen suffers shoulder injury

NFL.com

Dec 30, 2018 · 4:00 PM EST

Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen suffered a shoulder injury and has been ruled out against the Saints.

Related players: Garrett Gilbert, Taylor Heinicke

Fantasy Impact:

Gilbert took over for Allen who playing for Heinicke who was injured last week. Of course Heinicke took over for Cam Newton after Newton was shut down because of a shoulder injury.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has concussion

ESPN

Dec 30, 2018 · 3:52 PM EST

Aaron Rodgers' season started with a knee injury and ended with a concussion.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback left Sunday's season finale against the Detroit Lions after just three series. He took a hard hit on his first dropback of the game, got sacked by linebacker Jarrad Davis and lost his helmet on the play. He stayed in for two more series before he walked to the locker room with a member of the medical staff.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least the third known concussion of Rodgers' NFL career. He suffered two during the 2010 season, the year in which the Packers won the Super Bowl. He did not miss a game after his first concussion, which occurred in Week 5. He missed one game later in the year after he sustained a concussion in Week 14 at Detroit.

Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette officially doubtful for Week 17

Jaguars official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:38 PM EST

Leonard Fournette (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

There is no reason for the Jags to push Fournette in what has been a disaster of a season for both. Look for T.J. Yeldon to get the start with Carlos Hyde questionable as a late-week addition to the injury report.

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd moved to IR

Bengals official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:36 PM EST

Tyler Boyd's season is over due to a knee injury, as the Bengals have placed the breakout wide receiver on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

Aside from Joe Mixon and perhaps C.J. Uzomah, avoid the Bengals at all costs this week.

Redskins TE Vernon Davis doubtful for Week 17

Redskins Injury Report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:34 PM EST

Vernon Davis (concussion) has been listed as doubtful for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

With Jordan Reed on IR, Josh Doctson questionable, and Davis unlikely to play, the Redskins are woefully short on options outside of Jamison Crowder. We'd do our best to avoid them all, but if you have to pick one, Crowder looks like a WR3 to us.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman will play Week 17

Falcons official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:30 PM EST

Tevin Coleman (groin) is all set to play Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

Coleman has a cherry matchup against the Buccaneers but may have a Brian Hill problem if Atlanta decides to give the youngster an extended look. Consider Coleman a RB3 with both a low floor and a high ceiling.

Colts TE Eric Ebron listed as questionable

Colts official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:27 PM EST

Eric Ebron (concussion) got in a full session today and was listed as questionable.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Ebron should get the green light on Sunday. In what is a massive game for the whole organization, he slots in as a top-five option at tight end.

Bears WR Allen Robinson listed as doubtful

Bears official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:26 PM EST

Allen Robinson (ribs) has been listed as doubtful for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bears need the Rams to lose to the lowly 49ers to have a shot at a bye next week, so this move makes a ton of sense. It could also mean the likes of Anthony Miller, Taylor Gabriel and Mitchell Trubisky may not play the whole game, so we'd recommend avoiding the passing game completely.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson doubtful for Week 17

Buccaneers official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:24 PM EST

The Buccaneers have listed DeSean Jackson (Achilles) as doubtful for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson's absence gives Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries a chance to finish the season strong against a poor Falcons pass defense. Both players have been up and down the last month, rendering neither as a trustworthy option, but each of them has upside if the starts line up.

Saints QB Teddy Bridgewater to start Week 17

Nick Underhill

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:22 PM EST

According to Nick Underhill of The New Orleans Advocate, Saints head coach Sean Payton said Teddy Bridgewater will start on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Bridgewater isn't startable in a game where the Saints will be resting most all of the players whose names you'd recognize.

Steelers WR Antonio Brown questionable for Week 17

Steelers official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 8:02 PM EST

The Steelers have listed Antonio Brown (knee) as questionable for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown did not practice this week and we've gotten virtually zero in the way of information on the severity of the injury. If he plays, he is obviously an elite WR1. If not, JuJu Smith-Shuster goes from his current slot as our number eight wide receiver to the top five.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota listed as questionable

Titans official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 7:59 PM EST

Marcus Mariota (stinger) has been listed as questionable for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

There is virtually no chance Mariota sits in a must-win game for Tennessee. He isn't startable in pretty much any format, but his presence should help out Corey Davis.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler removed from injury report

Chargers official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 7:58 PM EST

Autin Ekeler was removed from the Chargers injury report after a week of practice. He is all set to play Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

With Melvin Gordon perhaps not fully healthy himself, Ekeler could see an expanded role this week. We wouldn't bet our fantasy lives on it, though, and would consider Ekeler more of an RB4 with upside.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton officially questionable

Colts official Twitter

Dec 28, 2018 · 7:56 PM EST

T.Y. Hilton (ankle) has been listed as questionable after not practicing all week.

Fantasy Impact:

We can't remember the last time Hilton got in a practice session, but that hasn't stopped him from being an absolute terror this season. From Week 11 on, he has averaged 22.5 PPR PPG despite scoring only twice. Week 17 should bring more of the same, with Hilton ranked as a WR1.

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware questionable for Week 17

Chiefs official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 7:53 PM EST

The Chiefs have listed Spencer Ware (hamstring) as questionable for Week 17 against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact:

Ware practiced in full every day this week, so the expectation is he will play Sunday. The question is, how will Ware and Damien Williams split work? Ware has always been good when given the chance, but Williams has been sensational the last two weeks, totaling 263 yards and three scores. We have Williams ranked as a high-end RB1 and Ware in RB3 territory.

Rams RB Todd Gurley to be inactive Sunday

Rams official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 7:50 PM EST

The Rams have ruled out Todd Gurley (knee) for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

It will be the C.J. Anderson show against the 49ers as the veteran looks to build off a massive Week 16 showing. John Paulsen has Anderson ranked as the number nine running back in a choice matchup.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin to play Week 17

Seahawks official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Doug Baldwin (shoulder) is all set to play on Sunday after being removed from Seattle's injury report.

Fantasy Impact:

Baldwin is a solid WR2 who has been consistently out-performing expectations late in the season. He has topped 23 PPR points in each of the last two games.

Packers WR Devante Adams still not practicing, could still play

Packers official injury report

Dec 28, 2018 · 7:46 PM EST

Devante Adams (knee) is questionable for Week 17 after not getting in a single practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Adams is the type of player who can play without practicing, but this is obviously not an ideal situation. With Equanimious St. Brown already declared out, Green Bay will be thin at the position, making whoever plays a good bet to produce.

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 17. Coutee may be able to return this week. Given Demaryius Thomas’s injury, he could see a sizable workload in his first game back.

Dec 28, 2018 · 6:29 PM EST

Steelers WR Antonio Brown (not injury related, knee, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 17. Brown has been getting his knee evaluated so consider him iffy for Week 17. Given his toughness we currently expect him to play through the injury.

Dec 28, 2018 · 6:29 PM EST

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (hamstring, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 17. Damien Williams is still a strong play even with Ware’s return. Ware did not have a stranglehold on the RB1 job when he was injured, and Williams played his way into a two-year extension worth up to $8 million. It appears that the Chiefs consider Williams to be starter material.

Dec 28, 2018 · 6:29 PM EST

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny (knee, questionable) took full practice reps again Thursday and is questionable for Week 17. If Penny returns, it puts a small dent in Chris Carson’s upside this week. In the four games that Penny has missed, Carson has averaged 25.5 touches compared to just 16.1 touches in the nine games in which Penny has played.

Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot, doubtful) missed practice again Friday and is doubtful for Week 17. Carlos Hyde (knee, questionable) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 17. T.J. Yeldon and David Williams could split the work with Fournette likely out and Hyde iffy.

Dec 28, 2018 · 6:29 PM EST

Rams RB Justin Davis (shoulder, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 17. He could have a larger role this week, but C.J. Anderson is the Rams’ RB to play this week.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle, questionable) took ful...

Dec 28, 2018 · 6:29 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 17. The full practices indicate that he’s on track to play this week. He will likely return to a lead back role but won’t necessarily see the same type of workload that he saw before the injury. Jaylen Samuels is capable of producing in a change-of-pace role.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman (groin) returned to take limit...

Dec 28, 2018 · 6:29 PM EST

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman (groin) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week. It looks like he will play in Week 17 after looking iffy for most of the week. This throws cold water on Brian Hill’s Sneaky Start status.

Steelers RB James Conner a full-go in practice

Steelers official injury report

Dec 27, 2018 · 8:28 PM EST

James Conner (ankle) is practicing in full in preparation for a must-win game for the Steelers. He should be on the field come Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Jaylen Samuels has done an admirable job in Conner's stead, but this job is his if he is on the field. Conner figures to be an elite RB1 in a must-win game against a terrible Bengals rush defense.

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. not practicing

Giants official injury report

Dec 27, 2018 · 8:25 PM EST

Odell Beckham Jr. has yet to practice this week with a lingering quad issue. The Giants have no incentive to play him this week.

Fantasy Impact:

If there is any justice in the world, Beckham will watch this one from the sidelines. In that case, Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram once again get a big bump into WR2/3 and mid to high-end TE1 territory.

Packers WR Davante Adams did not practice Thursday

Packers official injury report

Dec 27, 2018 · 8:23 PM EST

Davante Adams (knee) did not take the field for Thursday's practice session.

Fantasy Impact:

Considering Green Bay is playing only for pride, it would make sense for them to sit their second best offensive player. Of course, Adams is on the cusp of having the greatest statistical season in Packers history, so it is possible he talks his way on the field even if he is not 100%. If that happens, he is an elite WR1.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman does not practice Thursday

Falcons official injury report

Dec 27, 2018 · 8:20 PM EST

Despite head coach Dan Quinn saying Tevin Coleman (groin) would practice today, the running back did not participate.

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons have nothing to play for and Coleman is likely a goner in free agency, so it is conceivable they just roll with Brian Hill to see if his eight carry, 115-yard outburst last week was a fluke. If he gets the nod, Hill would be a volume-based RB2.

Rams RB Todd Gurley still not practicing

Gary Klein on Twitter

Dec 27, 2018 · 8:16 PM EST

Sean McVay said Todd Gurley (knee) not practicing all week, something he didn't do today, would not necessarily keep him from playing versus 49ers. He also said Gurley suffered similar symptoms after season opener versus Oakland.

Fantasy Impact:

In order for the Rams to miss out on a bye next week, they would need to lose against the 49ers while the Bears would have to beat the Vikings. Considering how good C.J. Anderson was last week, this looks to us like a good time to get their star back some rest.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota practices Thursday

Terry McCormick on Twitter

Dec 27, 2018 · 8:13 PM EST

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (hand) practiced Thursday with no obvious limitations but did not take a full complement of snaps. Coach Mike Vrabel said he can now move on to the next phase of their plan.

Fantasy Impact:

Mariota isn't somebody you want to use this week, but his presence would be a boost for Corey Davis and Derrick Henry.

Bears WR Allen Robinson not practicing

Bears practice report

Dec 27, 2018 · 8:11 PM EST

Allen Robinson (ribs) has yet to practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bears might be smart to rest Robinson, as their odds of getting a bye in the first round of the playoffs is quite slim. We currently have him ranked as a WR3 in a tough matchup.

Rapoport: Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay (wrist) faces lengthy recovery

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 25, 2018 · 9:23 PM EST

Lindsay is dealing with a possible scaphoid fracture, along with ligament damage. Unless additional tests present a more positive outlook, he faces a lengthy recovery.

Related players: Royce Freeman

Fantasy Impact:

Originally Lindsay was said to have a shot to play in Week 17, but his season is now over as the injury is believed to be more serious. Lindsay was an undrafted free agent who turned into a Pro Bowler this year. Freeman should get a shot at a big workload against the Chargers in Week 17.

Steelers RB James Conner questionable for Week 17

Dale Lolley on Twitter

Dec 25, 2018 · 12:35 PM EST

Tomlin says Sean Davis (quad), Vince Williams (toe) and James Conner (ankle) are all questionable to play this week against the Bengals.

Related players: Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

Tomlin went on to say practice participation will determine their availability this week. If Conner can't go again, Samuels would get most of the workload.

Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay (wrist) hopeful to play Week 17

DenverBroncos.com

Dec 25, 2018 · 12:33 PM EST

Running back Phillip Lindsay is optimistic that the injury he suffered to his right wrist is “probably just a sprain,” he said after the Broncos’ 27-14 loss to the Raiders.

He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Head Coach Vance Joseph announced after the game.

Related players: Royce Freeman, Devontae Booker

Fantasy Impact:

Lindsay, who exited the game after a carry in the third quarter, said he would try to play in Week 17 against the Chargers, even though the Broncos don’t have playoff implications on the line. Freeman would likely have a bigger role in Week 17 if the Broncos hold out Lindsay.

Seahawks extend HC Pete Carroll

Q Fox 13

Dec 25, 2018 · 12:29 PM EST

The Seattle Seahawks have signed Executive Vice President of Football Operations & Head Coach Pete Carroll to a multi-year contract extension, the team announced on Christmas Eve.

"I am excited to announce that we have extended Head Coach Pete Carroll through the 2021 season," said Jody Allen, Seahawks Chair and Trustee of the Paul G. Allen Trust. "This will continue the championship culture that we have created in Seattle."

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll, hired as Seattle's eighth head coach on January 11, 2010, has led the Seahawks to seven playoff appearances with a combined 97-59-1 record, back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in 2013-14, 10-plus wins in five-consecutive seasons (2012-16), and four NFC West Division titles. Prior to his arrival, Seattle posted 10-plus wins only five times in the previous 34 years.

Eagles activate WR Mike Wallace from IR

Philly.com

Dec 24, 2018 · 10:08 PM EST

The Eagles activated wide receiver Mike Wallace from injured reserve on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, the team has missed Wallace's deep-threat potential this season after suffering a broken fibula.

Chargers plan to play starters in Week 17

Eric Williams on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 10:05 PM EST

Anthony Lynn said he will not rest players in is team’s final game against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact:

“We’re going into this game no different than any other game,” he said. “We’re not worrying about resting people. We’re trying to win the game. Herm Edwards said it best – you play to win,” Lynn went on to say according to the tweet.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman (groin) has good chance to play Week 17

Vaughn McClure on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 10:04 PM EST

Dan Quinn said Tevin Coleman strained his groin.

Fantasy Impact:

McClure went on to say Coleman will participate in the walkthrough this week and he's getting treatment. The team is not ruling him out for season finale and he has a good chance to play, Quinn said.

49ers RB Matt Breida, WR Dante Pettis ruled out for Week 17

Matt Maiocco on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 10:01 PM EST

49ers injury updates:
RB Matt Breida (ankle) is out
WR Dante Pettis (knee) is out
TE Garrett Celek is in concussion protocol
WR Marquise Goodwin (calf bruise) and CB K’Waun
Williams (knee) will be re-checked on Wednesday.

Related players: Jeff Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Wilson should see a big workload with Breida out. The Niners play at the Rams in Week 17.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny expected back for Week 17

Bob Condotta on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 9:57 PM EST

Carroll says Rashaad Penny "should come roaring back this week.''

Fantasy Impact:

The Seahawks play the Cardinals in Week 17, and while Seattle said it plans to play starters, if things get lopsided enough Penny could possibly see a big workload in the second half.

Seahawks plan to play starters in Week 17

Michael-Shawn Dugar on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 9:55 PM EST

Pete Carroll not a fan of resting players.

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll said he just doesn't like resting players, even with the Seahawks clinching a playoff berth. Keep in mind, the Seahawks play the Cardinals in Week 17, so things could get out of hand enough where some players may not make it through the whole contest.

Texans RB Lamar Miller (ankle) 'trending upward'

Aaron Wilson on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 1:19 PM EST

Bill O'Brien on Lamar Miller (ankle) if he'll be back this week: 'I think he's got a chance. Trending upwards.'

Fantasy Impact:

The Texans are playing for a division title so it's possible they rush Miller back for Week 17. It's a potential tough matchup against the Jaguars, however.

Giants will go with Eli Manning at QB in Week 17

Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 1:13 PM EST

No surprise: Eli Manning will start at QB for the Giants on Sunday in the season finale against Dallas at the Meadowlands, coach Pat Shurmur said.

Fantasy Impact:

Manning threw for over 300 yards in Week 16 and added a passing and rushing TD to his fantasy totals. It will be another tough matchup against the Cowboys in Week 17, who are expected to play their starters according to Jerry Jones.

Eagles to start Nick Foles at QB Week 17

Dave Spadaro on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 1:10 PM EST

Doug Pederson: Nick Foles starts on Sunday at Washington

Fantasy Impact:

Foles had a monster game in a must-win over Houston in Week 16. The Eagles need to beat the Redskins in Week 17 and have the Vikings lose to the Bears to earn a wild card berth.

Dolphins will start Ryan Tannehill at QB Week 17

Armando Salguero on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 1:07 PM EST

Adam Gase says Ryan Tannehill is the starter versus Buffalo.

Fantasy Impact:

Those who follow the team believe the Dolphins will move on from Tannehill at the end of this year, so it's perhaps a little surprise they will close out the year with Tannehill as the starter.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota dealing with stinger

Jim Wyatt on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 1:03 PM EST

Vrabel said Marcus Mariota is dealing with stinger.

Fantasy Impact:

The Titans are hoping Mariota can do some work today, and during the week. A playoff berth is on the line vs. the Colts, so Mariota will try to get on the field for Week 17 for the Sunday night game.

Jones: Cowboys will go 'all-out' Week 17

Jon Machota on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 11:34 AM EST

Cowboys playing to win next Sunday against the New York Giants?

Jerry Jones: “Absolutely. We’re all-out. We’ve got work to do. We’ve got some work to do out here, I think we’ll all agree. We don’t want to, if we can, go into the playoff with dangling participles — loose ends.”

Related players: Ezekiel Elliot, Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper

Fantasy Impact:

With the division wrapped up, the Cowboys don't feel giving guys rest is the smart thing to do in Week 17. For those with Week 17 fantasy games, this will be something to monitor as it's still hard to believe the Cowboys stud players will get full workloads in a meaningless game.

Panthers could sit RB Christian McCaffrey Week 17

Bill Voth on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 11:31 AM EST

Would imagine there will be some discussions this week about sitting Christian McCaffrey and Luke Kuechly in New Orleans.

Related players: Cameron Artis-Payne

Fantasy Impact:

Voth went on to say HC Ron Rivera wouldn't go far into that decision but said, "We need to be smart," and it could be a good time "to evaluate" younger players.

Rams RB Todd Gurley may sit Week 17

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 11:27 AM EST

Ian Rapoport reported the Rams may sit RB Todd Gurley for Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

He reported Gurley didn't feel great before the team's Week 16 game, so they held him out and may end up doing the same for Week 17, saving him for the playoffs.

Texans WR Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) out for season

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 11:24 AM EST

The Texans lost WR Demaryius Thomas for the season with a ruptured Achilles.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said it should be a nine-month recovery after surgery and he should make a full recovery.

Eagles QB Nick Foles fine after big hit

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 24, 2018 · 11:22 AM EST

Ian Rapoport reported Eagles QB NIck Foles is fine after taking a big hit late in the game against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapaport said Foles got checked out for a couple of things, but just got the wind knocked out of him. He did return to the game and should be fine for Week 17.

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) OUT for Week 16

Chiefs Inactives
Sammy Watkins
Kendall Fuller
Spencer Ware
Ron Parker
Kahlil McKenzie
Jimmy Murray

Related players: Damien Williams

Fantasy Impact:

As expected, Ware won't play tonight leaving a big workload for Williams . He is a low-end RB1.

Packers WR Equanimeous St. Brown suffered head injury

CBS Sports

Dec 23, 2018 · 4:58 PM EST

Equanimeous St. Brown was under evaluation for a head injury suffered Sunday against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

At the point of his departure midway through the fourth quarter, St. Brown led the Packers with 94 yards on his five receptions.

Giants TE Rhett Ellison suffers concussion

CBS Sports

Dec 23, 2018 · 4:53 PM EST

Rhett Ellison is ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Ellison exited Sunday's contest during the first quarter, and will need to clear the league-mandated concussion protocol before eventually retaking the field. Scott Simonson will serve as the top backup to starting tight end Evan Engram as long as Ellison remains sidelined.

Patriots WR Cordarrelle Patterson has knee injury

NESN

Dec 23, 2018 · 4:50 PM EST

You can add Cordarrelle Patterson to the list of banged-up New England Patriots.

The receiver/running back/kick returner left Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium with a knee injury, the Patriots announced. It’s unclear when Patterson, who returned a kickoff to start the second half, suffered the injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Patterson later returned to the Patriots sideline, but did not reenter the game. As the story said, with Josh Gordon suspended, the Pats can't afford to lose Patterson.

Falcons RB Tevin Coleman has groin in jury

CBS Sports

Dec 23, 2018 · 4:47 PM EST

Tevin Coleman suffered a groin injury during Sunday's game at Carolina, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

Related players: Brian Hill

Fantasy Impact:

Prior to leaving the contest, Coleman compiled 51 yards on 10 carries and didn't reel in his sole target. With Devonta Freeman (groin) and Ito Smith (knee) on injured reserve and Jeremy Langford a healthy scratch, Brian Hill was the last man standing in the Falcons backfield and finished with 115 yards. He could be in line to play next week if Coleman can't go.

Colts TE Eric Ebron suffers concussion

USA Today

Dec 23, 2018 · 4:43 PM EST

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron suffered a concussion against the New York Giants on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium and will not return, the team announced shortly after halftime.

Rleated players: Mo Alie-Cox, Ryan Hewitt

Fantasy Impact:

On the Colts’ final drive before the half ended, Ebron was involved in a collision in the middle of the field going for a catch. Giants safety Mike Thomas delivered a legal hit, and Ebron was clearly shaken. Alie-Cox and Hewitt are next up for the Colts.

Texans believe WR Demaryius Thomas has torn Achilles

NFL.com

Dec 23, 2018 · 4:39 PM EST

Texans receiver Demaryius Thomas was carted off the field and quickly ruled out after suffering an Achilles injury in the second half of Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thomas is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles.

Related players: DeAndre Carter, Vyncint Smith

Fantasy Impact:

Carter stepped up with a 6-61-0 line while Smith caught a 35-yard TD pass. It's a bit if a blow to the Texans passing offense and DeShaun Watson heading into Week 17 and the playoffs.

C.J. Anderson will get the start in place of Todd Gurley this week in a game the Rams should easily win. He is a risky, low-floor play, though, as LA may look to involve as many as three backs in a rotation. We'd recommend staying away if at all possible.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster tweets he's playing Week 16

JuJu Smith-Schuster on Twitter

Dec 22, 2018 · 1:17 PM EST

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster tweeted this Saturday, furthering endearing himself into the hearts of those that have him in fantasy football around the globe:

"A lot on the line this week. The whole season comes down to this. Yes, I’m talking about the fantasy football championship round. Of course I’m playing Sunday!!! Theres no way I can let down the real ones who believed in me by drafting me!! Let’s get it!!"

Fantasy Impact:

Smith-Schuster had a mid-week groin injury, but it's nice to see even though a pivotal game in New Orleans looms, he clearly is in the right frame of mind. #priorities

Texans RB Lamar Miller, WR Keke Coutee OUT Week 16

Houston Texans

Dec 22, 2018 · 12:05 PM EST

Texans WR Keke Coutee, NT Brandon Dunn and RB Lamar Miller will not travel with the team to Philadelphia and have been downgraded to OUT for Sunday’s game against the Eagles.

Related player: Alfred Blue

Fantasy Impact:

Alfred Blue handled 28 touches on 99 percent of Texans snaps back in Week 5 without Lamar Miller. D'onta Foreman (Achilles) could be active for the first time this season this time. Philadelphia ranks just 30th in aFPA to RBs. If Foreman is inactive, Blue would be a volume-based RB2.

Steelers RB James Conner out for Week 16

Steelers official injury report

Dec 21, 2018 · 10:22 PM EST

The Steelers have declared James Conner (ankle) out for Week 16.

Fantasy Impact:

Jaylen Samuels gets another start and should be productive as a low-end RB1. The Saints rush defense is nothing to sneeze at, though, so Samuels will have to make hay in the passing game if he is to live up to expectations.

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware doubtful for Week 16

Chiefs

Dec 21, 2018 · 10:21 PM EST

The Chiefs have listed Spencer Ware (hamstring) as doubtful for Week 16.

Fantasy Impact:

Damien Williams will get another start a week after scoring over 30 PPR points. He is a low-end RB1 as the workhorse in one of the best offenses in the NFL.

49ers RB Matt Breida will play Week 16

49ers official injury report

Dec 21, 2018 · 10:16 PM EST

The 49ers have removed Matt Breida (ankle) from their injury report.

Fantasy Impact:

Breida is hurt but playing. Weird. We haven't heard that once all year....

Even though he will be on the field against the Bears, he will be both less than 100 percent and in a super tough matchup. He is a flex play at best who will need to score or break a long play to truly help your team in championship week.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Cardinals TE Ricky Seals-Jones (illness, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 16. Seals-Jones was fourth in TE air yards over the last two weeks, so he’s due to catch a long one if he continues to see the targets from Josh Rosen.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin, questionable) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is questionable for Week 16. He was not available to the press on Friday either, so he looks like a true game-time decision. James Washington figures to pick up most of his snaps and targets, becoming a high-risk Sneaky Start if Smith-Schuster sits. If the Ravens beat the Chargers on Saturday, the chances increase that Smith-Schuster guts it out, since the Steelers would need to beat the Saints to stay in the playoff hunt. If the Ravens lose, the Steelers can probably get in with a Week 17 win against the Bengals.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie (ankle) took full practice reps again Friday. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. McKenzie is a high-floor PPR. He has 14 catches and two touchdowns in his last four games, so he has scored at least 9.9 fantasy points in three of his last four.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (ankle, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 16. Hilton is considered to be a game-time call but we expect him to play since he got in more practice work this week than he did last week before playing well.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. He’s due for a big game after a couple of quiet games in the last three weeks. He has scored 8 of his 11 touchdowns on the road this year.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 16. If Coutee remains out, then Demaryius Thomas will be a Sneaky Start against the Eagles. Thomas had eight targets last week and 14 in the last two games. He posted 6-59 against the Jets and should be in for another nice PPR day against a banged up Philly secondary.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (concussion, doubtful) missed p...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Packers WR Randall Cobb (concussion, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 16. With Cobb likely out, Equanimeous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling should see more work, though the Packers may turn to Jake Kumerow as well, to see what he can do.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 16. Boyd is out, so the Bengals are down to Ross, Cody Core, Alex Erickson and Auden Tate at receiver. Ross has scored 9.1 or more fantasy points (PPR) in four of his last six games.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Giants WR Odell Beckham (quadricep, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 16. It’s good news for Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram, though the Colts defense has been much improved this year. Shepard hasn’t done much in the last two weeks with Beckham out.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (hip) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. After catching a couple of touchdowns last week, consider him a fantasy WR2 against the Chiefs.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle, back) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. Anderson finished with 7-96-1 on 11 targets last week against the Texans. He’s a very good start again this week against a struggling Green Bay secondary.

Dolphins WR Danny Amendola (knee) took full practice reps again Friday.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Packers RB Jamaal Williams (toe) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. He should see a major workload against the Jets. He’s a good plug-and-play option for owners in need of a starter this week.

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (hamstring, doubtful) took limit...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (hamstring, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 16. “Doubtful” almost always means “out” so owners who were hoping Damien Williams would see starter’s touches again this week can start him with confidence.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (wrist, thigh) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Mixon will be fine to face the Browns, who have given up an average of 126 yards and 1.3 rush touchdowns per game.

Texans RB Lamar Miller (ankle, questionable) took limit...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Texans RB Lamar Miller (ankle, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 16. Miller will probably be able to gut it out against the Eagles, though he may not see his usual workload.

Jets RB Elijah McGuire (ankle, quadricep) took full pra...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Jets RB Elijah McGuire (ankle, quadricep) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. Last week, McGuire delivered to the tune of 71 total yards and a touchdown on 21 touches. This serves as a reminder that when we’re looking for production from strange places, just follow the volume. McGuire now has two straight games with 14.1 or more fantasy points and is primed for a third as the Packers limp into MetLife Stadium his week.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) took full practice re...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) took full practice reps again Friday. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. McCoy will likely lead the backfield in touches, but he’s only averaging 64 total yards and hasn’t scored a touchdown in seven games with Josh Allen under center.

Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee, questionable) missed practic...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 16. Initially expected to play, per HC Todd McVay, Gurley is now a game-time decision for Sunday. Surprisingly, the beat writers are saying that it will be C.J. Anderson, not John Kelly, who would start if Gurley can’t play. Unless this is contradicted over the next 48 hours, Gurley owners should pick up Anderson as a Plan B in case Gurley can’t go. Anderson’s role is not solid, and he could easily cede to Kelly if things don’t go well at the start of the game. Gurley is still a strong start if he’s active and healthy enough to get most of his usual workload. Complicating matters, the Rams play late on Sunday so owners will need to be on their toes as the day wears on.

Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) took full practice ...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. Fournette will be fine to face the Dolphins but given his limited Week 15 workload, he’s no longer a no-brainer fantasy RB1.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 16. Conner says that he’s still “not ready” to return from his high-ankle sprain. Jaylen Samuels is primed for another big workload.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson (not injury related) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Rashaad Penny (knee, questionable) missed practice again Thursday and is questionable for Week 16. He looks like a game-time decision and is unlikely to play. Carson is good to go and should see a big workload if Penny is sidelined. He has averaged 25.0 touches for 133 total yards and 0.67 touchdowns in the three games that Penny has missed this season.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) took limited practice reps all week. Breida was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. Always a risk for re-injury, he’s an RB2 in a tough matchup against the Bears. He has averaged 13.9 touches per game in the 11 games in which he’s played more than 15% of the snaps.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Lions RB Nick Bellore (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage (hip) took full practice reps...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage (hip) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. Frank Gore is out for the remainder of the year, and it was Ballage—not Kenyan Drake—who took over as Miami’s primary runner last week against the Vikings, gaining 123 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. He caught 64 passes in his final two seasons at Arizona State, so he’s a capable receiver as well. The matchup against the Jaguars isn’t great, though Jacksonville has yielded 160 yards rushing in six away games while giving up just 90 yards rushing in eight home games this season. Drake (shoulder) took full practice reps all week and will play on Sunday. But it doesn’t look like he’s going to lead this backfield in touches, even with Frank Gore out.

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back, out) missed practice all ...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 16. Nick Foles will start again this week. He put up a measly 9.3 fantasy points last week against the Rams, but he returns home to face a Texans defense that is tough to run on but vulnerable against the pass, yielding 253/2 to Sam Darnold, 399/2 to Andrew Luck, 397/1 to Baker Mayfield and 303/2 to Marcus Mariota in recent weeks.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (back, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 16. One of the most durable QBs in the league, Stafford should be able to play through the back injury again this week. He’s not a good start against the Vikings.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) too...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go.

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee, groin) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. Rodgers cited “leadership” as a reason that he’ll be out there against the Jets. It’s good news for Jamaal Williams and the rest of the Green Bay offense.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder, out) missed pra...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 16. The Panthers have decided to shut Newton down for the season. Taylor Heinicke will draw the start, but the Old Dominion product is largely an unknown from an NFL standpoint. In the preseason, he completed 24 of 36 passes for 323 yards (9.0 YPA) and two touchdowns against one interception. He also rushed five times for 23 yards and a score. That 7.2 pass-to-rush ratio would fall between Jameis Winston (6.9) and Blake Bortles (7.4) this year, so Heinicke can add points with his legs. He’s obviously a risky start, but there’s some upside here due to the competence he showed in the preseason and his home matchup against the Falcons, who are No. 30 in QB aFPA. Consider this news a slight downgrade for the entire offense, though we weren’t expecting Newton to tear it up this week given his shoulder. John Paulsen watched Heinicke’s preseason throws and runs and came away fairly impressed. He showed some fast feet, threw a couple of darts downfield and his sole interception was not his fault.

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot) took full practice reps all ...

Dec 21, 2018 · 6:10 PM EST

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. The just-officially-eliminated Packers have given up passing yards to the three competent quarterbacks they’ve faced in the last four weeks. Mitch Trubisky (235/2), Matt Ryan (262/2) and Kirk Cousins (342/3) all went over the 19.0-mark in fantasy points. Meanwhile, Darnold is coming off of 253/2 against the Texans, and he has at least 18.0 fantasy points in three of his last four home games. Throw in a budding rapport with Robby Anderson, and we have the makings of a solid fantasy outing.

Falcons WR Julio Jones gets in a limited practice

Jason Butt on Twitter

Dec 21, 2018 · 3:19 PM EST

According to Jason Butt of The Athletic, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Julio Jones will be a game-time decision Week 16, but he did get in a limited practice Friday.

Fantasy Impact:

It seems somewhat likely Julio will play. If he does, consider him his old elite self.

Rams RB Todd Gurley still not practicing

Lindsey Thiry on Twitter

Dec 21, 2018 · 3:16 PM EST

Rams Running Back Todd Gurley was not seen at the open portion of Rams practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact:

Gurley already had declared himself out of practice for the week. He and his head coach both said Thursday he will play this weekend. We will take them at their word and consider Gurley an RB1 in an amazing matchup. All that said, his upside may be a bit capped, especially if the Rams get up big and they turn to John Kelly in order to get Gurley some rest.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson to play Week 16

Jenna Laine on Twitter

Dec 21, 2018 · 1:36 PM EST

Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter announced that DeSean Jackson will be active against the Dallas Cowboys after missing three games with a thumb injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries have already been a bit hard to trust the last few weeks, something Jackson's presence won't help in the least. All three are WR4s in a difficult matchup against the Cowboys.

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd OUT for Week 16

Bengals official injury report

Dec 21, 2018 · 1:31 PM EST

The Bengals have ruled out Tyler Boyd (knee) for Week 16's game against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact:

John Ross is the only receiver left for the Bengals that you've even heard of. Between Jeff Driskel being under center and Ross' own struggles, we can't imagine that makes him anything more than a desperation flex play.

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. OUT for Week 16

Giants official injury report

Dec 21, 2018 · 1:02 PM EST

The Giants have ruled out Odell Beckham Jr. for Week 16 with a quad injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Unsurprising, but obviously still notable, Beckham being gone for championship week is a bummer for owners. Sterling Shephard and Evan Engram will see more work than usual, with the former checking in as a borderline WR2 and the latter a mid-range TE1 against a deceptively good Colts defense.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Cowboys TE Geoff Swaim (wrist) missed practice again Thursday. Blake Jarwin has seven targets in each of the last two games—11th in air yards at his position in that span—and has a nice matchup with the Bucs.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee, thigh) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Njoku continues to play through his injuries, but we’re getting to the point in the season where teams may shut down certain players who aren’t healthy. Stay tuned.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Redskins TE Vernon Davis (concussion, questionable) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. Davis looks iffy for Saturday. Jordan Reed (ankle, foot, out) missed practice again Thursday and is out. Jeremy Sprinkle caught a touchdown last week and is a decent streaming option against the Titans.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps. This is the dreaded midweek downgrade, but we’ll wait to see what he’s able to do on Friday before adjusting his ranking.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Bengals WR John Ross (knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday. With Tyler Boyd out, the Bengals are down to Ross, Cody Core, Alex Erickson and Auden Tate at receiver. Ross has scored 9.1 or more fantasy points (PPR) in four of his last six games. He’ll get a boost if Denzel Ward is out, though it looks like he’s going to play.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie (ankle) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. McKenzie is a high-floor PPR. He has 14 catches and two touchdowns in his last four games, so he has scored at least 9.9 fantasy points in three of his last four.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. If Coutee remains out, then Demaryius Thomas will be a Sneaky Start against the Eagles. Thomas had eight targets last week and 14 in the last two games. He posted 6-59 against the Jets and should be in for another nice PPR day against a banged up Philly secondary.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (concussion) missed practice ag...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Packers WR Randall Cobb (concussion) missed practice again Thursday. Cobb looks very iffy for Sunday. His absence would open the door for Equanimeous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, though the Packers may turn to Jake Kumerow as well, to see what he can do.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle, back) took full practice reps again Thursday. Anderson finished with 7-96-1 on 11 targets last week against the Texans. He’s a very good start again this week against a struggling Green Bay secondary.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hip, questionable) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Allen seems to be on track to play. The offense has a tough matchup against the Ravens, though slot corner Tavon Young is not a matchup that Allen (or Philip Rivers) should fear.

Packers RB Jamaal Williams (toe) took limited practice ...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Packers RB Jamaal Williams (toe) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Williams is expected to play and should see a major workload against the Jets. He’s a good plug-and-play option for owners in need of a starter this week.

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (hamstring) took limited practic...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. It looks like Ware may return to muddy up the backfield after Damien Williams’ big Week 15. If Ware sits again, Williams will be a strong RB2.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Texans RB Lamar Miller (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Miller will probably be able to gut it out against the Eagles, though he may not see his usual workload.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Jets RB Elijah McGuire (ankle, quadricep) took full practice reps again Thursday. Last week, McGuire delivered to the tune of 71 total yards and a touchdown on 21 touches. This serves as a reminder that when we’re looking for production from strange places, just follow the volume. McGuire now has two straight games with 14.1 or more fantasy points and is primed for a third as the Packers limp into MetLife Stadium his week.

Bills RBs LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (sho...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Bills RBs LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (shoulder) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. McCoy will likely lead the backfield in touches, but he’s only averaging 64 total yards and hasn’t scored a touchdown in seven games with Josh Allen under center.

Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) did not practice Wednesday. ...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) did not practice Wednesday. He sat out Thursday as well. Justin Davis (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. HC Sean McVay said that he expects Gurley to play, but it’s no sure thing. The Rams play late on Sunday, so Gurley owners should pick up John Kelly if possible, since with Davis’s shoulder injury, Kelly is the most likely candidate to fill in for Gurley. C.J. Anderson was just signed but it’s doubtful that he’ll get up to speed quickly enough to play a big role in Week 16.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) took full practice rep...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday. He’s good to go for Saturday’s tilt against the Ravens. It’s a tough matchup so Gordon is ranked lower than usual.

Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) took full practice ...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) took full practice reps again Thursday. Fournette should be fine to face the Dolphins but given his limited Week 15 workload, he’s no longer a no-brainer fantasy RB1.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (neck, doubtful) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Ekeler isn’t likely to play on Saturday, so Justin Jackson will back up Melvin Gordon in a tough matchup against the Ravens.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Seahawks RB Chris Carson (not injury related) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Carson has averaged 25.0 touches for 133 total yards and 0.67 touchdowns in the three games that Rashaad Penny has missed this season. Rashaad Penny (knee) did not practice Wednesday and the Seahawks signed RB Bo Scarbrough this week, indicating that Penny won’t be ready for Week 16.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday and Thursday. It appears that Breida may be able to play despite re-injuring his ankle again last week. If he’s out, Jeff Wilson should once again take the reins in the 49er backfield. In Week 13 against the Seahawks, he turned 23 touches into 134 total yards and with Breida out in Week 14 against the Broncos, he turned 24 touches into 96 yards. The Bears defense is formidable, but Chicago has yielded an average of 128 rushing yards in its last four games on the road this season. If Breida plays, it will likely be a timeshare with Breida in the lead role as long as he’s able to go.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Lions RB LeGarrette Blount (calf) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps. Blount’s presence on the injury report enhances Zach Zenner’s Sneaky Start status. He’s worth a look for desperate owners.

Lions RB Nick Bellore (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage (hip) took full practice reps...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage (hip) took full practice reps again Thursday. Frank Gore is out for the remainder of the year, and it was Ballage—not Kenyan Drake—who took over as Miami’s primary runner last week against the Vikings, gaining 123 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. He caught 64 passes in his final two seasons at Arizona State, so he’s a capable receiver as well. The matchup against the Jaguars isn’t great, though Jacksonville has yielded 160 yards rushing in six away games while giving up just 90 yards rushing in eight home games this season. Drake (shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday. Drake will play, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to lead this backfield in touches, even with Frank Gore out.

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back) missed practice again Thu...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back) missed practice again Thursday. Nick Foles is expected to start again this week. He put up a measly 9.3 fantasy points last week against the Rams, but he returns home to face a Texans defense that is tough to run on but vulnerable against the pass, yielding 253/2 to Sam Darnold, 399/2 to Andrew Luck, 397/1 to Baker Mayfield and 303/2 to Marcus Mariota in recent weeks.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (back) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Stafford should be able to play through the back injury again this week. He’s not a good start against the Vikings.

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Roethlisberger should be fine for a tougher-than-it-looks road matchup against the Saints.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee, groin) took full practi...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee, groin) took full practice reps again Thursday. Rodgers cited “leadership” as a reason that he’ll be out there against the Jets. It’s good news for Jamaal Williams and the rest of the Green Bay offense.

Falcons QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) was removed from...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Falcons QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) was removed from the injury report Thursday. The Panthers have decided to shut Cam Newton down for the season. Taylor Heinicke will draw the start, but the Old Dominion product is largely an unknown from an NFL standpoint. In the preseason, he completed 24 of 36 passes for 323 yards (9.0 YPA) and two touchdowns against one interception. He also rushed five times for 23 yards and a score. That 7.2 pass-to-rush ratio would fall between Jameis Winston (6.9) and Blake Bortles (7.4) this year, so Heinicke can add points with his legs. He’s obviously a risky start, but there’s some upside here due to the competence he showed in the preseason and his home matchup against the Falcons, who are No. 30 in QB aFPA. Consider this news a slight downgrade for the entire offense, though we weren’t expecting Newton to tear it up this week given his shoulder.

Redskins QB Colt McCoy (fibula, out) missed practice again Thursday.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (foot) took full practice reps...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (foot) took full practice reps again Thursday. He’s good to go to face the Redskins on Saturday. Mariota has averaged 17.3 fantasy points in five home games, and his two bad games came against Baltimore and Jacksonville, two of the tougher defenses in the league. Washington is coming off of a good showing against the Jaguars, but that was against Cody Kessler. In the three previous games, Washington yielded 197/3 to Eli Manning, 306/2 to Carson Wentz and 289/2 to Dak Prescott.

Redskins QB Josh Johnson (ankle) took full practice rep...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Redskins QB Josh Johnson (ankle) took full practice reps again Thursday. Johnson should be fine to face the Titans. He should score some points with this legs.

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot) took full practice reps agai...

Dec 20, 2018 · 7:15 PM EST

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot) took full practice reps again Thursday. Darnold should be fine to face Green Bay. The just-officially-eliminated Packers have given up passing yards to the three competent quarterbacks they’ve faced in the last four weeks. Mitch Trubisky (235/2), Matt Ryan (262/2) and Kirk Cousins (342/3) all went over the 19.0-mark in fantasy points. Meanwhile, Darnold is coming off of 253/2 against the Texans, and he has at least 18.0 fantasy points in three of his last four home games. Throw in a budding rapport with Robby Anderson, and we have the makings of a solid fantasy outing.

Steelers RB James Conner unlikely to play

Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette

Dec 20, 2018 · 3:29 PM EST

On Wednesday, Steelers running back James Conner said, "“I’m trying. It’s day by day. These high-ankle sprains are deceiving. I can walk around fine, I’m not limping around, but when I’m out there on the field, cutting and stuff, I’m just not ready yet.”

Fantasy Impact:

Multiple reports are swirling around the stud second-year pro, and none of them are good. If you were hoping to have him this week, you need to get a plan in place and prepare as though he won't be available. Jaylen Samuels will be a borderline RB1 in his stead.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon to play Week 16

Ross Tucker on Twitter

Dec 20, 2018 · 3:12 PM EST

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said on Sirius XM NLF, "Melvin's practiced all week and he's doing fine. I don't know that he's himself but he's going to play."

Fantasy Impact:

Bum knee or no bum knee, Gordon is a locked and loaded RB1 this week despite playing a tough Ravens defense. Beware his upside is likely a bit capped, but otherwise should be all systems go.

Patriots WR Josh Gordon stepping away from football

Josh Gordon, Twitter

Dec 20, 2018 · 10:44 AM EST

Josh Gordon posted on twitter this morning, "I will be stepping away from the football field for a bit to focus on my mental health."

Fantasy Impact:

Tom Pelissero reports that Gordon "is facing another indefinite suspension for violating terms of his reinstatement under the substance abuse policy, per source." Obviously this is a blow to the Patriots, and could be the end of the line for Gordon, who has flashed on the field but struggled to stay unsuspended. Chris Hogan and Phillip Dorsett's playing time figures to get a bump, but the Patriots will use Cordarrelle Patterson as well. No one stands out as a great add at this point.

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson moved to IR

Detroit Lions official website

Dec 19, 2018 · 7:33 PM EST

The Lions have placed Kerryon Johnson (knee) on season-ending IR.

Fantasy Impact:

Zach Zenner ran as the lead back last week, out-touching LeGarrette Blunt 14 to seven and out-snapping him 26 to 11. Theo Riddick has also been involved, especially the last three weeks with 12, 10 and 11 touches respectively. None of the trio has been particularly productive, though. If you can avoid the Lions backs, we'd recommend doing so.

Falcons RB Devonta Freeman done for the year

92.9 FM Atlanta

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:50 PM EST

Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said today that Devonta Freeman (knee) will not be back this season.

Fantasy Impact:

This isn't a huge surprise, but with Ito Smith also done for the year, it solidifies Tevin Coleman as a workhorse the rest of the way. He is a solid RB2 this week despite the tough matchup against the Panthers.

Rams RB Todd Gurley did not practice Wednesday, but is expected to play

Sporting News

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:41 PM EST

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that he expects Todd Gurley (knee) to play Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

Gurley would be a must-start RB1 even at less than 100%. If the Rams change course, backup John Kelly is an interesting RB2 flier with upside in a great matchup.

Dolphins RB Frank Gore moved to IR

Armando Salguero on Twitter

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:39 PM EST

The Miami Dolphins have put running back Frank Gore on season-ending IR with a foot injury.

Fantasy Impact:

In theory, this should be good news for Kenyan Drake owners. In reality, the Dolphins already tipped their hand last week after Gore left, giving plenty of run to rookie Kalen Ballage. Bellage, a size/speed prospect, acquitted himself well, but is raw, inconsistent and was a disappointment in college. Neither Ballage or Drake are great options against Jacksonville this week.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (ankle, foot) did not practice Wednesday. It was Jeremy Sprinkle (3-19-1 on three targets and 60% of the snaps) that took over for Reed last week, not Vernon Davis.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Browns TE David Njoku (knee, thigh) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Njoku continues to play through his injuries, but we’re getting to the point in the season where teams may shut down certain players who aren’t healthy. Stay tuned.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Falcons TE Austin Hooper (ankle, knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Hooper has a nice matchup against the Panthers this week, though the Falcons are out of the playoff hunt, so they could decide to shut him down.

Packers TE Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) did not practice ...

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Packers TE Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) did not practice Wednesday. If Graham is truly iffy, he may not be out there against the Jets.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Colts TE Eric Ebron (quadricep) did not practice Wednesday. Ebron has been playing through his various injuries all year, so we’re expecting him to play against the Giants.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (heel) did not practice Wednesday. Watkins is unlikely to play this week. Chris Conley will continue to see expanded snaps, though it hasn’t always led to more targets.

Bengals WR John Ross (knee) took limited practice reps ...

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Bengals WR John Ross (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. With Tyler Boyd out, the Bengals are down to Ross, Cody Core, Alex Erickson and Auden Tate at receiver. Ross has scored 9.1 or more fantasy points (PPR) in four of his last six games. He’ll get a boost if Denzel Ward is out, though it looks like he’s going to play.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. McKenzie is a high-floor PPR. He has 14 catches and two touchdowns in his last four games, so he has scored at least 9.9 fantasy points in three of his last four.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Falcons WR Julio Jones (hip, ribs) did not practice Wednesday. Jones should continue to play through the injury. He has averaged 5-81 on 9.8 targets per game in his last four matchups with Carolina.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery (illness) did not practice Wednesday. Jeffery should be fine to play by Sunday. He had a nice game against the Rams last week and has a nice matchup this week.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Lions WR Kenny Golladay (chest) took limited practice reps Wednesday. After a couple of quiet weeks, Golladay broke out to the tune of 7-146 on 8 targets. He has another tough matchup this week but is still startable from a pure volume standpoint.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. If Coutee remains out, then Demaryius Thomas will be a Sneaky Start against the Eagles. Thomas had eight targets last week and 14 in the last two games. He posted 6-59 against the Jets and should be in for another nice PPR day against a banged up Philly secondary.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hip) was limited on Wednesday. It’s a good sign for his availability on Saturday. He may be a game-time decision. If he’s not able to play, Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams will both get a bump.

Packers RB Jamaal Williams (toe) took limited practice ...

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Packers RB Jamaal Williams (toe) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Williams is a great add this week, assuming Aaron Rodgers plays against the Jets. Unfortunately, that’s no sure thing, and if Rodgers is out, it’s a major downgrade for the entire Green Bay offense. Assuming he plays, Williams should see 15+ toches as the primary back with Aaron Jones out. Williams ran hard against the Bears last week, garnering 97 total yards and a touchdown on 16 touches.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. It looks like Ware may return to muddy up the backfield after Damien Williams’ big Week 15. If Ware sits again, Williams will be a strong RB2.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Jets RB Elijah McGuire (ankle, quadricep) practiced fully Wednesday. Last week, McGuire delivered to the tune of 71 total yards and a touchdown on 21 touches. This serves as a reminder that when we’re looking for production from strange places, just follow the volume. McGuire now has two straight games with 14.1 or more fantasy points and is primed for a third as the Packers limp into MetLife Stadium his week.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Bills RBs LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. If either player can get healthy enough to play it’s bad news for Keith Ford, who is in line for a large workload if both McCoy and Ivory sit.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. If he’s out, Jeff Wilson should once again take the reins in the 49er backfield. In Week 13 against the Seahawks, he turned 23 touches into 134 total yards and with Breida out in Week 14 against the Broncos, he turned 24 touches into 96 yards. The Bears defense is formidable, but Chicago has yielded an average of 128 rushing yards in its last four games on the road this season.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage (hip) practiced fully Wednesday. Kenyan Drake (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday. Frank Gore is out for the remainder of the year, and it was Ballage—not Drake—who took over as Miami’s primary runner last week against the Vikings, gaining 123 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. He caught 64 passes in his final two seasons at Arizona State, so he’s a capable receiver as well. The matchup against the Jaguars isn’t great, though Jacksonville has yielded 160 yards rushing in six away games while giving up just 90 yards rushing in eight home games this season.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back) did not practice Wednesday. Nick Foles is expected to start again this week. He put up a measly 9.3 fantasy points last week against the Rams, but he returns home to face a Texans defense that is tough to run on but vulnerable against the pass, yielding 253/2 to Sam Darnold, 399/2 to Andrew Luck, 397/1 to Baker Mayfield and 303/2 to Marcus Mariota in recent weeks.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. The Panthers have decided to shut Cam Newton down for the season. Taylor Heinicke will draw the start, but the Old Dominion product is largely an unknown from an NFL standpoint. In the preseason, he completed 24 of 36 passes for 323 yards (9.0 YPA) and two touchdowns against one interception. He also rushed five times for 23 yards and a score. That 7.2 pass-to-rush ratio would fall between Jameis Winston (6.9) and Blake Bortles (7.4) this year, so Heinicke can add points with his legs. He’s obviously a risky start, but there’s some upside here due to the competence he showed in the preseason and his home matchup against the Falcons, who are No. 30 in QB aFPA. Consider this news a slight downgrade for the entire offense, though we weren’t expecting Newton to tear it up this week given his shoulder.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (foot) practiced fully Wednesday. Mariota has averaged 17.3 fantasy points in five home games, and his two bad games came against Baltimore and Jacksonville, two of the tougher defenses in the league. Washington is coming off of a good showing against the Jaguars, but that was against Cody Kessler. In the three previous games, Washington yielded 197/3 to Eli Manning, 306/2 to Carson Wentz and 289/2 to Dak Prescott.

Dec 19, 2018 · 6:34 PM EST

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot) practiced fully Wednesday. Darnold should be fine to face Green Bay. The just-officially-eliminated Packers have given up passing yards to the three competent quarterbacks they’ve faced in the last four weeks. Mitch Trubisky (235/2), Matt Ryan (262/2) and Kirk Cousins (342/3) all went over the 19.0-mark in fantasy points. Meanwhile, Darnold is coming off of 253/2 against the Texans, and he has at least 18.0 fantasy points in three of his last four home games. Throw in a budding rapport with Robby Anderson, and we have the makings of a solid fantasy outing.

Panthers QB Cam Newton shut down for the season

ESPN.com

Dec 19, 2018 · 3:33 PM EST

The Panthers have decided to shut down quarterback Cam Newton (throwing shoulder) for the remainder of the season. Backup Taylor Heinicke will be starting in his place.

Fantasy Impact:

From John Paulsen: "On the bright side, Newton’s owners don’t have to worry about making the decision whether or not to start him with a bum shoulder after two pretty bad outings in the last two weeks. Taylor Heinicke will draw the start, but he’s largely an unknown from an NFL standpoint. In the preseason, he completed 24 of 36 passes for 323 yards (9.0 YPA) and two touchdowns against one interception. He also rushed five times for 23 yards and a score. That 7.2 pass-to-rush ratio would fall between Jameis Winston (6.9) and Blake Bortles (7.4) this year, so Heinicke can add points with his legs. He’s obviously a risky start, but there’s some upside here due to the competence he showed in the preseason and his home matchup against the Falcons, who are No. 30 in QB aFPA. Consider this news a slight downgrade for the entire offense, though we weren’t expecting Newton to tear it up this week given his shoulder."

Chargers WR Keenan Allen could be game-time call

Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter

Dec 18, 2018 · 9:22 PM EST

WR Keenan Allen (hip) could be a game-time decision.

Related players: Tyrell Williams, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Allen is battling a hip issue, but it was reported there is no structural damage, however he's no lock to play in Week 16. Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams would get a boost, but it's a tough matchup against the Ravens. Luckily for owners, the Chargers play on Saturday.

Bills RB Marcus Murphy (elbow) heads to IR

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 18, 2018 · 5:16 PM EST

Bills signed WR Victor Bolden and placed RB Marcus Murphy on Injured reserve.

Related players: LeSean McCoy, Chris Ivory, Keith Ford

Fantasy Impact:

The Bills continue to shuffle their RBs. Murphy got the RB1 duties last week after McCoy and Ivory were unable to go. When Murphy went down, Ford took over. Ford could be back in action this week as the team's RB1 but it's possible McCoy and/or Ivory could be back this week as well. The Bills take on the Patriots.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) at full speed Tuesday

Eric Williams on Twitter

Dec 18, 2018 · 5:12 PM EST

Anthony Lynn said that Melvin Gordon was full speed at practice on Tuesday.

Related players: Justin Jackson, Austin Ekeler

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon should be back to his normal workload for Week 16 against the Ravens, which is obviously a tough matchup. Ekeler wasn't practicing Tuesday and is still in concussion protocol, so it's possibly Jackson is the RB2.

Packers place RB Aaron Jones (MCL) on IR

Tom Pelissero on Twitter

Dec 18, 2018 · 5:09 PM EST

The Packers made room for signing Allen Lazard by placing RB Aaron Jones on injured reserve, source said.

Related players: Jamaal Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Williams now has a clear path to be the main back this week against the Jets. NYJ were ranked 13th coming into last week in terms of allowing fantasy points to RBs, so it's not the best matchup but Williams should be in our RB2 range when rankings come out.

Panthers may shut down QB Cam Newton (shoulder)

NFL.com

Dec 18, 2018 · 5:04 PM EST

Cam Newton doesn't look physically right dealing with a shoulder issue, but the Carolina Panthers appear ready to continue playing their franchise quarterback until the postseason dream is officially squashed.

Speaking Tuesday after losing to the New Orleans Saints 12-9 to fall to 6-8, coach Ron Rivera said he wouldn't make a determination on Newton's status for the final two weeks of the season until after speaking with the medical staff and the quarterback later in the day.

Fantasy Impact:

Rivera noted the Panthers' tiny window of opportunity to still make the postseason as a reason Newton might continue to play. The Panthers will need to win out vs. the Falcons and Saints and get a lot of help, but as the story said, Newton hasn't really played well for several weeks because of the sore shoulder.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) hopes to play Week 16

Rick Stroud on Twitter

Dec 18, 2018 · 4:57 PM EST

WR DeSean Jackson is hopeful to play Sunday.

Related players: Adam Humphries, Chris Godwin

Fantasy Impact:

The Bucs travel to Dallas and Jackson has missed three-straight games with the thumb. There really isn't a need to rush him back, but his status vs. the Cowboys likely depends on getting back to the practice field. His return could put a dent in Godwin and Humphries' value.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) expected to play Week 16

Los Angeles Times

Dec 18, 2018 · 12:27 PM EST

Now in his fourth NFL season, Melvin Gordon is expected to return from a sprained knee Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens in the Chargers’ next-to-last game before the playoffs.

“It’s going to be tough,” Gordon said. “But we’re going to go out there and knock off some rust and get myself ready for the playoffs.”

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon sat out the last three games after suffering a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee Nov. 25. Gordon was close to returning last Thursday against the Chiefs but was unable to convince coach Anthony Lynn of his readiness during a pregame workout. Lynn had told Gordon the previous night that he was leaning toward not playing him.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers battling through injuries, status in question

ESPN

Dec 18, 2018 · 12:22 PM EST

Aaron Rodgers wants to play and expects to play. Joe Philbin wants to play him and expects to play him.

Unless, of course, there's a reason for the Green Bay Packers quarterback not to play.

Fantasy Impact:

Rodgers said after Sunday's loss that he injured his groin on the final play of the first half, and although he didn't miss a snap, he spent most of the second half trying to stretch it out because, he said, "it bothered me a little bit." That, combined with the left knee injury that Rodgers battled all season, could be enough for the Packers to keep him out of Sunday's penultimate game of 2018 at the Jets, the story said. Philbin said players are paid to play, and Philbin hasn't talked to Rodgers about sitting. But that message could come from higher up as Rodgers is 35 with a $134 million contract.

Rams RB Todd Gurley has knee inflammation

TheRams.com

Dec 18, 2018 · 8:36 AM EST

And on Monday, head coach Sean McVay said Todd Gurley’s knee issue is only inflammation and the Rams are expecting him to be OK. McVay added Gurley will be day-to-day this week.

Related players: John Kelly, Justin Davis

Fantasy Impact:

During Sunday night’s game, Gurley was announced as questionable to return with a knee injury. He was able to continue playing and finished with a pair of touchdowns. The Rams play the Cardinals this week so the big question is does Gurley play in a game the Rams are likely to be heavy favorites. Owners definitely want to monitor him this week.

Packers claim RB Kapri Bibbs with Aaron Jones' status in doubt

WBAY

Dec 17, 2018 · 6:57 PM EST

The Green Bay Packers claimed RB Kapri Bibbs off waivers from the Washington Redskins, the team announced Monday.

The move could be linked to the availability of starting running back Aaron Jones. Jones took himself out of the game in Sunday’s Week 15 game against the Chicago Bears due to a knee injury suffered in the first quarter and then did not return.

Jones said following the game, he think he has a sprained MCL which is the same injury he suffered against the Bears at Soldier Field last year.

Related players: Jamaal Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Williams got all the carries following the injury to Jones, and looks to be in store for a big workload assuming Jones is unable to go for Weeks 16 and 17.

Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins' ankle injury not expected to be serious

Houston Chronicle

Dec 17, 2018 · 6:51 PM EST

DeAndre Hopkins was carried off the field by quarterback Deshaun Watson and running back Alfred Blue, but he went back in the game and it isn't regarded as a long-term injury.

"I rolled my ankle on a slant at the beginning of that drive, so it was hard to run out there," Hopkins said. "The guys knew it. I stayed down for a minute, and they came over and took me off."

Fantasy Impact:

The injury looked a bit serious after the TD catch, but it sounds like Hopkins will be OK. Still, it's something for owners to keep an eye on as we head toward the fantasy finals.

Chargers TE Hunter Henry (ACL) back at practice

Chargers.com

Dec 17, 2018 · 6:46 PM EST

Hunter Henry was back on the field with his teammates at Hoag Performance Center on Monday, practicing for the first time since the first day of OTAs.

Fantasy Impact:

While it’s a big step in the right direction, it doesn’t necessarily mean Henry will play in a game this season. He remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list and does not count against the 53-man roster. However, there is now a 21-day window in which he’ll either be activated or miss the remainder of the 2018 campaign, the story went on to say.

Bills RB Marcus Murphy has dislocated elbow

Joe Buscaglia on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Bills HC Sean McDermott says RB Marcus Murphy has a dislocated elbow.

Related players: LeSean McCoy, Chris Ivory, Keith Ford

Fantasy Impact:

Ford and Murphy were getting more time with McCoy and Ivory both out in Week 15. Ford could be in store for those touches now if McCoy and Ivory remain out of action for Week 16. The Bills play New England in Week 16.

Falcons Ito Smith (knee) to be placed on IR

Atlanta Journal Consitution

Dec 17, 2018 · 6:40 PM EST

Falcons rookie running back Ito Smith, who was having a strong campaign, will have knee surgery and will be placed on injured reserve, coach Dan Quinn said Monday.

Related players: Tevin Coleman, Ricky Ortiz, Brian Hill

Fantasy Impact:

Ortiz and Hill are next up on the depth chart to back up Coleman for the rest of the season.

Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) to be limited at practice this week

Zach Goodall on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 6:37 PM EST

Marrone says Leonard Fournette will be limited this week with a foot injury.

Related players: Carlos Hyde, T.J. Yeldon, David Williams

Fantasy Impact:

A report on Sunday after the game said the plan was to give Williams more work, but perhaps that was because of Fournette's injury. Williams carried five times while Yeldon got three carries. Fournette will need to be monitored this week before getting plugged into lineups for Week 16.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler still in protocol

Eric Williams on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 6:30 PM EST

RB Austin Ekeler is still in concussion protocol, Lynn said.

Related players: Melvin Gordon, Justin Jackson

Fantasy Impact:

An earlier report today said Ekeler would be back along with Gordon and WR Keenan Allen. But with Ekeler still not out of protocol that could be in doubt. We'll know more later in the week. Gordon is expected back and should resume his normal workload. Jackson would be the RB2 if Ekeler can't go.

Texas could active RB D'Onta Foreman

Deepi Sidhu on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 1:44 PM EST

O'Brien says Texans "could" see Donta Foreman active for first time vs. Eagles.

Related players: Alfred Blue, Lamar Miller

Fantasy Impact:

Miller left Saturday's game early and did not return. While Blue could get a majority of the work anyway, Foreman could see some touches as well, especially if Miller can't go. Foreman doesn't seem like a great play even if Miller is inactive.

Giants will start Eli Manning at QB in Week 16

Patricia Traina on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 1:40 PM EST

Pat Shurmur announced Eli Manning will start Sunday vs. Indy.

Related players: Kyle Lauletta, Alex Tanney

Fantasy Impact:

Lauletta was a healthy scratch against the Titans, but had recently been promoted to the backup just a few weeks ago. Instead, it was Tanney who was Manning's backup this week. It seemed like a good bet the Giants might see what they had in Lauletta, but that doesn't appear to be the case - at least for Week 16.

Giants hope WR Odell Beckham returns for Week 16

New York Giants on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 1:35 PM EST

Coach Shurmur: We’re hopeful Odell Beckham will work his way back for this Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Beckham is going through treatment and doing everything he can to get back, according to the rest of the tweet. In reality, though, it doesn't make much sense for the Giants to rush him back, but it's perhaps at least a good sign he hasn't been moved to IR yet.

Nick Foles to start at QB for Eagles in Week 16

Dave Zangaro on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 1:31 PM EST

Doug Pederson tells reporters Nick Foles will start vs. the Texans, but Carson Wentz isn't going on IR.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles are still alive for a playoff berth so that's perhaps the reason Wentz won't go to IR. But reports say Wentz will need three months of rest so it's hard to believe the team would throw him back in the fire. Foles hasn't been has good as his magical playoff run last year, and despite a win over the Rams this week, he didn't throw a TD pass. Foles gets the Texans in Week 16.

Dolphins RB Frank Gore expected to miss rest of season

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 1:28 PM EST

After undergoing tests on his sprained foot, Dolphins’ RB Frank Gore is not expected to play again this season, per source.

Related players: Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage

Fantasy Impact:

With Gore out, Ballage took over most of the lead back duties with Drake getting just four touches in the game. Ballage is the guy to own, but the Fins are hosting the Jags in Week 16 so it's not a great matchup but Ballage appears to at least be on pace for a nice workload.

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd sprained MCL

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 11:21 AM EST

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd suffered a low-grade MCL sprain, source said.

Related players: John Ross, Cody Core, Alex Erickson

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said Boyd had his MRI Sunday. Boyd eclipsed 1,000 yards in the win and emerged as a promising player this season. But, he could miss time, and with only two weeks left in the season, that could be it for 2018, Rapoport said. Ross now looks like he could be the team's top target.

Rapoport: Eagles likely to stick with QB Nick Foles

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 9:45 AM EST

The Eagles haven't made a firm decision about Carson Wentz going forward, but his recovery is expected to take three months.

Related players: Nick Foles

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport believes the team will stick with Foles at QB rather than risking Wentz's future. Wentz's injury won't affect him long term, but the team also won't put him out there with the chance the injury could get worse. Foles led the Eagles to a win over the Rams with 270 yards but did not throw a TD. If he does start, Foles gets a tough Houston defense at home in Week 16 before closing at Washington Week 17.

Rams will get RB Todd Gurley's knee checked

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 9:39 AM EST

The Rams say they will get RB Todd Gurley's knee checked out after injury. He did return to the game.

Related players: John Kelly, Justin Davis

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said the knee was wrapped while on the sideline, perhaps a sign he was trying to loosen it up. Rapoport added it's a good sign Gurley returned to the game and the "feel" is this doesn't seem like a major injury. Kelly had just two carries while Davis had one. They would serve as backups if Gurley can't go. Malcolm Brown, of course, is out for at least the rest of the regular season.

Chargers believe RBs Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler and WR Keenan Allen play Week 16

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 9:30 AM EST

Chargers believe there’s a legitimate chance that three key injured players - WR Keenan Allen (hip), RBs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck) - all will be ready for Saturday night’s game.

Related players: Justin Jackson

Fantasy Impact:

The bad news would be for Jackson owners, who saw the rookie play well against the Chiefs last week. Jackson could be back to an RB3 role with Gordon likely assuming most of the workload again. It's a tough matchup against the Ravens in Week 16, however.

49ers RB Matt Breida injures ankle again

Matt Maiocco on Twitter

Dec 17, 2018 · 9:26 AM EST

RB Matt Breida left the game late with an ankle aggravation. Jeff Wilson stepped in and played big in OT.

Fantasy Impact:

At this point we don't know how serious the injury is. Breida was out-snapping Wilson for most of the game until the injury. Depending on how Breida is for Week 16, it's very possibly Wilson could be in for a bigger workload. The bad news is the Niners host the Bears next week.

Bills RB Marcus Murphy dislocates elbow

NFL.com

Dec 16, 2018 · 6:25 PM EST

Buffalo Bills running back Marcus Murphy exited with an arm injury against the Detroit Lions.

Related players: Keith Ford, Chris Ivory, LeSean McCoy

Fantasy Impact:

Ian Rapoport reported Murphy dislocated his elbow and it popped back in while he was still on the field, per a source. With Ivory and McCoy out, Murphy pretty much split time with Ford in the backfield. His future time and workload depends on if McCoy and Ivory are able to play going forward.

Packers WR Randall Cobb being evaluated for concussion

CBS Sports

Dec 16, 2018 · 6:18 PM EST

Randall Cobb was evaluated for a concussion near the end of Sunday's 24-17 loss at Chicago, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said it would be the first known head injury for Cobb if he is diagnosed with a concussion. If he can't play in Week 16, MVC and St. Brown would get a potential bump in snaps but have been risky this season.

Packers RB Aaron Jones suffers knee injury

ESPN

Dec 16, 2018 · 6:06 PM EST

Aaron Jones, the Green Bay Packers' most productive running back, suffered a knee injury in the first half of Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears and did not return.

Related players: Jamaal Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Reports say Jones thinks he has a sprained MCL, which cost Jones time last year. He was seen on the bench with ice on his right knee during the first half but was ruled out at the start of the second half. He carried only four times for 8 yards before his injury. Williams would be a potential add heading into Week 16 as the Packers visit the Jets.

Dolphins RB Frank Gore injures ankle

ESPN

Dec 16, 2018 · 6:00 PM EST

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was ruled out of Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Vikings after suffering a left ankle injury.

Gore, 35, was awkwardly tackled on a 10-yard run late in the first quarter. He struggled to get to the sideline with help from trainers and eventually was carted away.

Related players: Kalen Ballage, Kenyan Drake

Fantasy Impact:

After the game, Gore left the locker room with a walking boot on his left foot. Dolphins coach Adam Gase did not have any further update on his status, according to ESPN. Ballage took over for Gore and ran 12 times for 123 yards and a TD. Next week the Dolphins get the Jags, while it's not a friendly matchup, Ballage is probably a guy to add as Drake only had four touches in the game.

Rapoport: Steelers RB James Conner likely OUT Week 15

Ian Rapoport

Dec 15, 2018 · 3:02 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner, listed as questionable with an ankle injury, is unlikely to play vs. the #Patriots, source said. He should be good to go Week 16, though.

The Steelers downgraded Conner to doubtful Saturday afternoon.

Related player: Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

Samuels should step back into a high volume role that should again make him an upside RB2 in Week 15.

Eagles QB Carson Wentz likely to miss rest of season

Tim McManus

Dec 15, 2018 · 2:08 PM EST

Wentz was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. Pederson had said earlier Friday that he would be listed as questionable and would travel with the team to Los Angeles. However, given the estimated three-month recovery time, it seems unlikely Wentz will play the rest of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

St. Nick Foles returns in time for the holiday season, but he's unlikely to deliver any fantasy presents down the chimney.

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. OUT for Week 15

Giants official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:32 PM EST

The Giants have listed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quad) as out for Week 15 against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

We expected this news, but it still stinks for his owners at the most critical juncture of the season thus far. Sterling Shepard vaults into the top-20 wide receivers in our rankings. Tight end Evan Engram also gets a sizeable bump into mid-range TE1 territory.

Falcons WR Julio Jones will play Week 15

Falcons official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:30 PM EST

The Falcons removed Julio Jones (foot, illness) from their Friday injury report, meaning he is ready to go against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The biggest concern for Julio owners isn't his foot, but rather his matchup against Patrick Peterson and the Cardinals team as a whole. Atlanta likely won't need to throw the ball 40 times to win and if they get out to a big lead, could look to give Jones a bit of a break in the second half in what has been a lost season for the team. Despite those concerns, he is still a locked-in WR1 and could easily make everything we just said look silly as he racks up 200 yards on a dozen grabs.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson OUT for Week 15

Buccaneers official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:26 PM EST

The Buccaneers have ruled out wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hand) for Week 15's game against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact:

Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin will vie for targets behind Mike Evans against one of the best defenses in the NFL. Humprhies is probably the floor play with Godwin offering more upside as both look to be more of a WR3 than WR2.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton did not practice again Friday, but is listed as questionable

Colts official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:25 PM EST

The Colts have listed wide receiver T.Y. Hilton as questionable with an ankle injury despite his not having practiced all week.

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts play Dallas in the early round of games on Sunday, so you will have time to swap in somebody else if he can't go. If he does, even against a good Dallas pass defense, he is a WR2 with upside in the potent Colts offense. Watch his status on Saturday with the hope he participates in the Colts walkthrough.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed OUT for Week 15

Redskins Injury Report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:20 PM EST

The Redskins have ruled Jordan Reed (foot, ankle) out of their Week 15 game against Jacksonville.

Fantasy Impact:

Vernon Davis will step up and is a volume based streamer despite the difficult matchup. Look at him as a top-15 option at the position.

Falcons TE Austin Hooper will play Sunday

Falcons official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:19 PM EST

The Falcons removed Austin Hooper (knee) from the injury report Friday after he got in a limited session.

Fantasy Impact:

Hooper has slowed down considerably in recent weeks and has a tough matchup against our third-ranked defense, according to aFPA, against tight ends. He is best left on your bench if you have another option.

Steelers RB James Conner is questionable for Week 15

Steelers official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:16 PM EST

The Steelers have listed James Conner (ankle) as questionable for Week 15. This comes as a bit of a surprise as he was thought to be sure to miss at least two games.

Fantasy Impact:

Should Conner be out there, he will be at risk of a reaggravation, but you would likely have to start him as an RB1/RB2 in a huge game for Pittsburgh. The better situation for owners would be if he stayed on the sidelines and let Jaylen Samuels shoulder the load for a second straight week. Samuels would be a borderline RB1 if that scenario comes to pass.

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson OUT for Week 15

Lions official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:14 PM EST

The Detroit Lions have listed running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) as out for Week 15.

Fantasy Impact:

Following a surprising Thanksgiving blowup against the Bears, LeGarrette Blount, who has been filling in for Johnson, hasn't done much the last two weeks. The Lions offense is a huge mess and Buffalo's defense is fairly stout, rendering the veteran bruiser a low-end RB4 unless he manages to fall across the goal line.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin questionable for Week 15

Seahawks official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:09 PM EST

The Seattle Seahawks have listed Doug Baldwin as questionable with a hip injury. Baldwin was able to get in limited practices all weeks and is generally expected to play.

Fantasy Impact:

Baldwin hasn't been a great fantasy option this season but does have two scores in his last three games. Still, he has eclipsed five receptions only twice and has failed to reach the 60-yard mark in all but two games. Tyler Lockett is your best option in this offense and is a WR2 with upside if he breaks loose for a long gain.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny OUT for Week 15

Seahawks official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:06 PM EST

The Seahawks have ruled out rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) for Week 15 against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

Penny wasn't an option for owners anyway, but he has been eating into Chris Carson's workload a bit of late. His absence should give Carson a bit safer floor in a game Seattle could be up big early, making the starter a solid RB2.

49ers RB Matt Breida and WR Dante Pettis both questionable

49ers official injury report

Dec 14, 2018 · 8:04 PM EST

The 49ers have listed Matt Breida (ankle) and Dante Pettis (foot) as questionable. There does not seem to be a consensus on what side of questionable either player is on.

Fantasy Impact:

Breida has made a season out of playing hurt, so it seems he at least has a shot of suiting up. If he does, it would kill Jeff Wilson's value, but we wouldn't be surprised if Wilson cuts into Breida's workload somewhat. Look at Breida as a flex option and not much more.

With Pierre Garcon out and Marquise Goodwin also questionable, the 49ers need Pettis to be active. Deeper league owners would like it, too, as he has been quite productive over the last three weeks totaling 12 receptions, 255 yards and four scores. He is worth starting as a WR3.

Dec 14, 2018 · 6:47 PM EST

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (ankle, foot, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 15. With Reed out, Vernon Davis is streamable. Davis saw four targets in Week 14, and they all came from QB Josh Johnson, who is going to draw the start this week. Davis caught all four of those targets for 31 yards and has posted usable fantasy lines in a few different games this season: 2-70 in Week 3, 3-48-1 in Week 6, 5-62 in Week 9 and 2-73-1 in Week 12. With Reed likely out, Davis should set a season-high in snaps played this week.

Dec 14, 2018 · 6:47 PM EST

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 15. Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin will once again play expanded snaps, though neither player was particularly effective last week and the matchup is worse this week.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (ankle, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 15. With no practices all week, Hilton is looking iffy for Sunday.

Per ESPN’s Brady Henderson, Pete Carroll had this to say: "We’ll just go one day at a time with Doug and never expecting anything other than he may pull off another one of these miracles to get back and play. His mind is set on doing that. We’ll see how he makes it through the week.” The Seahawks play late on Sunday.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny (knee, out) missed practice again Thursday and is out for Week 15. This a slight boost to Chris Carson’s floor and a big boost to Mike Davis’s likely role against the 49ers.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 15.

Dec 14, 2018 · 6:47 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 15. The return to practice makes it possible that Conner returns this week. The Steelers play late on Sunday, which complicates matters, so hopefully we have more clarity by Saturday night. In his absence last week, Jaylen Samuels turned 18 touches (7 catches) into 92 total yards. He should see a similar workload against the Patriots if Conner can’t play.

Dec 14, 2018 · 6:47 PM EST

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 15. Wentz is not expected to face the Rams. Nick Foles’s productivity has been all over the place in eight starts since 2017, including the playoffs. He was obviously great in last year’s postseason, but in two starts this year, he had a bad game against Atlanta (117 passing yards, one interception) before a pretty productive game against the Buccaneers (334 yards and a touchdown). In the seven starts where he attempted at least 30 passes, he averaged 260 yards and 1.71 touchdowns against just 0.43 interceptions, but owners are warned against expecting too much in a tough spot against a surging Rams defense. Still, if he can avoid a multi-interception meltdown, he could have a big fantasy day in garbage time.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (ankle, foot) missed practice again Thursday. If Reed sits, which looks likely, Vernon Davis would be streamable. Davis saw four targets in Week 14, and they all came from QB Josh Johnson, who is going to draw the start this week. Davis caught all four of those targets for 31 yards and has posted usable fantasy lines in a few different games this season: 2-70 in Week 3, 3-48-1 in Week 6, 5-62 in Week 9 and 2-73-1 in Week 12.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Falcons WR Julio Jones (foot, calf, illness) missed practice again Thursday. Thursday’s absence was due to illness. He should be fine to face the Falcons, though he’ll have to deal with shadow coverage from Patrick Peterson.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) missed practice again Thursday. Jackson is having a tough time gripping the football, which would make it difficult to catch it. Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin will once again play big snaps, but the matchup this week is a bad one.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Coutee was limited all of last week and ultimately sat out. The Texans play on Saturday. His absence would give Demaryius Thomas a small boost.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) took full practice ...

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Cobb will be out there against the Bears. He dropped a 9-142-1 line on Chicago in Week 1, and the Bears just lost their slot corner, Bryce Callahan.

Giants WR Odell Beckham (quadricep) missed practice Thursday after taking limited reps Wednesday. Beckham says the quad feels “much better,” but added that it “ain’t right.” For now, we think he’ll sit against the Titans.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (hip) did not practice Wednesday. Per ESPN’s Brady Henderson, Pete Carroll had this to say: "We’ll just go one day at a time with Doug and never expecting anything other than he may pull off another one of these miracles to get back and play. His mind is set on doing that. We’ll see how he makes it through the week.”

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle) took full practice reps ...

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle) took full practice reps again Thursday. Anderson should be fine to face the Texans. With Quincy Enunwa (ankle, out) ruled out, seven targets in back-to-back games, and a nice matchup on tap, Anderson is shaping up as a Sneaky Start for Week 15. Jermaine Kearse is also worth a look.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. We’ll see what McCoy can do on Friday before putting him back in the rankings. For now, we expect Chris Ivory to serve as the lead back. The Lions run defense is much improved so neither player is a particularly enticing option.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Drake should continue to play through the shoulder injury.

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell (toe, out) missed practice again...

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell (toe, out) missed practice again Thursday. Elijah McGuire (ankle) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. With Crowell out, it’s looking likely that McGuire serves as the RB1 against the Texans. It’s a bad matchup, but McGuire should see a sizable workload after turning 20 touches into 83 yards and a touchdown against the Bills last week. Houston has yielded just 40 rushing yards per game (on 2.65 YPC) to opposing running backs in the last four games, though they’ve given up an average 42 receiving yards to the position in the same span. McGuire is more than capable as a receiver—he has 11 catches for 90 yards in five games played, so he holds more value in PPR formats than in standard this week. Trenton Cannon (toe, questionable) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) missed practice again ...

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) missed practice again Thursday. Conner will probably sit another week, though OC Randy Fichtner said that he could play without practice. We’re not holding our breath. In his absence last week, Jaylen Samuels turned 18 touches (7 catches) into 92 total yards. He should see a similar workload against the Patriots.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson (not injury related) took limi...

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Seahawks RB Chris Carson (not injury related) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Carson should be out there for a nice matchup against the 49ers.

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) took limited practice reps...

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Breida also practiced on Thursday, so we added him to the rankings. For now, we believe he’ll take a backseat to Jeff Wilson, though his presence certainly threatens Wilson’s workload.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Lions RB Nick Bellore (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back) missed practice again Thu...

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back) missed practice again Thursday. Wentz is out this week and maybe longer with a fractured vertebra in his back. Nick Foles’s productivity has been all over the place in eight starts since 2017, including the playoffs. He was obviously great in last year’s postseason, but in two starts this year, he had a bad game against Atlanta (117 passing yards, one interception) before a pretty productive game against the Buccaneers (334 yards and a touchdown). In the seven starts where he attempted at least 30 passes, he averaged 260 yards and 1.71 touchdowns against just 0.43 interceptions, but owners are warned against expecting too much in a tough spot against a surging Rams defense. Still, if he can avoid a multi-interception meltdown, he could have a big fantasy day in garbage time.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (back) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Stafford should be fine to play, but he’s not a recommended start against the Bills.

Dec 13, 2018 · 6:59 PM EST

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. The full practice indicates that Big Ben will almost certainly be out there for a showdown with the Patriots on Sunday.

Bills QB Derek Anderson (concussion) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon unlikely to play

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 13, 2018 · 2:25 PM EST

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, "Chargers initially were told the knee injury that Melvin Gordon suffered Nov. 25 was a 2-4 week injury. It’s now 18 days, and while the Chargers won’t make a final determination on Gordon until pregame warmups, it will be challenging for him to play tonight."

Fantasy Impact:

It seems more and more like Justin Jackson is going to lead the Chargers against the Chiefs in a fantastic matchup. The rookie is currently our 12th ranked running back for the week, but does come with more risk than your average RB1.

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell and WR Quincy Enunwa ruled OUT for Week 15

Jets Official Injury Report

Dec 13, 2018 · 2:19 PM EST

The Jets have listed Isaiah Crowell (foot) and Quincy Enunwa (ankle) as out for Week 15's game against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Crowell's backfield mate Elijah McGuire isn't a sure thing for Saturday's game, but it does sound like he should play. If so, he checks in as a low-end RB2/flex option against a tough Texans run defense. Coming off his best game since Week 5, Robby Anderson is an intriguing WR4 with upside should he get loose for a long score (or two).

Eagles QB Carson Wentz has fractured vertebra

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 13, 2018 · 2:14 PM EST

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, "A recent CT scan on Carson Wentz’s back revealed a fractured vertebrae that, if allowed time to rest, would fully heal without further expected issues, sources tell ESPN. There will be a continued evaluation to determine if continuing to play this year will make injury worse."

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Wentz was going to miss time, but this seems to confirm the injury is more than just a simple pull or sprain. As long as Wentz is out, the entire offense save for Zach Ertz takes a big hit.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill to play Thursday night

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:57 PM EST

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, "Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, listed as questionable for Thursday night’s game vs Charges, will be playing, per source."

Fantasy Impact:

This is great news for the entire offense. Hill will remain in his usual role as a fantasy WR1.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (ankle, foot) did not practice ...

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (ankle, foot) did not practice Wednesday. If Reed sits, Vernon Davis would be streamable. Davis saw four targets in Week 14, and they all came from QB Josh Johnson, who is going to draw the start this week. Davis caught all four of those targets for 31 yards and has posted usable fantasy lines in a few different games this season: 2-70 in Week 3, 3-48-1 in Week 6, 5-62 in Week 9 and 2-73-1 in Week 12. With Reed likely out, Davis should set a season-high in snaps played this week.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Packers TE Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) did not practice Wednesday. Graham did not practice last Wednesday but was out there against the Falcons. The Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive, so we expect he’ll be active against the Bears.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot, out) did not practice Wednesday. Conley will continue to play big snaps with Watkins out, but as he reminded us in Week 14 (with two catches for 13 yards), opportunity does not always equal production.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Falcons WR Julio Jones (foot, calf) did not practice Wednesday. Jones will probably play through the injury against the Cardinals, though he’ll have to deal with shadow coverage from Patrick Peterson. Peterson won the last meeting, limiting Jones to a 4-35 line, but Jones had his way with Peterson back in 2014 to the tune of 10 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. This is a new injury for Hilton but he should be able to play through it. He’s averaging 127 yards in the five games since his Week 9 bye.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist, questionable) took ...

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist, questionable) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Hill is dealing with a couple of injuries but is expected to play against the Chargers. He’ll likely be shadowed by Casey Hayward. Hill has produced good fantasy lines—7-169-2, 5-88-1 and 5-77-1—in his last three matchups with the Chargers.

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring, doubtful) did not practice Wednesday. Look for Damien Williams to lead this backfield in touches with Darrel Williams as a change-of-pace back. The newly signed Charcandrick West may be mixed in as well. Damien is a fantasy RB2.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Chris Ivory (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday. Ivory would serve as the lead back against a stingy Detroit rush defense if McCoy can’t play.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Austin Ekeler (neck, concussion, out) did not practice Wednesday. With Ekeler out, Justin Jackson is the next man up if Gordon can’t play on Thursday night. He’d be in line for a big workload against a generous Kansas City defense.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell (toe) did not practice Wednesday. Elijah McGuire (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Crowell looks doubtful, but we’ll continue to monitor his status. It’s looking likely that McGuire serves as the RB1 against the Texans. It’s a bad matchup, but McGuire should see a sizable workload after turning 20 touches into 83 yards and a touchdown against the Bills last week. Houston has yielded just 40 rushing yards per game (on 2.65 YPC) to opposing running backs in the last four games, though they’ve given up an average 42 receiving yards to the position in the same span. McGuire is more than capable as a receiver—he has 11 catches for 90 yards in five games played.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Conner will probably sit another week. In his absence, Jaylen Samuels turned 18 touches (7 catches) into 92 total yards. He should see a similar workload against the Patriots.

Dec 12, 2018 · 7:48 PM EST

Eagles QB Carson Wentz (back) did not practice Wednesday. Wentz is not expected to face the Rams. Nick Foles’s productivity has been all over the place in eight starts since 2017, including the playoffs. He was obviously great in last year’s postseason, but in two starts this year, he had a bad game against Atlanta (117 passing yards, one interception) before a pretty productive game against the Buccaneers (334 yards and a touchdown). In the seven starts where he attempted at least 30 passes, he averaged 260 yards and 1.71 touchdowns against just 0.43 interceptions, but owners are warned against expecting too much in a tough spot against a surging Rams defense. Still, if he can avoid a multi-interception meltdown, he could have a big fantasy day in garbage time.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler OUT for Week 15

Chargers official injury report

Dec 12, 2018 · 4:06 PM EST

The Chargers have listed Austin Ekeler (neck, concussion) as out for Thursday night's game in Kansas City.

Fantasy Impact:

Melvin Gordon is purported to be a true game-time decision, but it sounds like he has a real shot at playing. If so, he is obviously a must-start as an RB1. If not, Justin Jackson gets a crack at the gig. He has shown signs he is up to the task, but did have a bit of a let-down last week after Week 13's mini-breakout (nine touches, 82 yards and a score).

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware doubtful for Thursday night

Chiefs official injury report

Dec 12, 2018 · 4:03 PM EST

The Chiefs have listed running back Spencer Ware (hamstring, shoulder) as doubtful for Thursday night's game.

Fantasy Impact:

John Paulsen says, "With Spencer Ware doubtful, Damien Williams figures to serve as the lead back for the Chiefs against the Chargers. Last week, he turned 12 touches into 30 yards and two touchdowns. Darrel Williams should back up Damien with the newly-signed Charcandrick West just getting back up to speed. Darrel showed some ability in the preseason and could garner 5-10 touches as Damien’s backup."

Eagles QB Carson Wentz unlikely to play Sunday night

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 12, 2018 · 11:44 AM EST

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, "Carson Wentz, dealing with a back issue, is not expected to play this week, sources say. Depending on the result, given the time of year, Wentz may not play again in 2018. The team is still gathering info on his health."

Fantasy Impact:

The timing couldn't be worse for fantasy owners. With Nick Foles a poor option, you could look to Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen or even Derek Carr as options. Give our Streaming Quarterbacks and Waiver Wire Watch articles a read for other potential options that may be available in your league.

As far as the Eagles receivers go, aside from Zach Ertz, nobody has been particularly compelling of late anyway, so this doesn't change much on that front. Golden Tate and Alshon Jeffery remain in the low-end WR2/WR3 discussion and Ertz, who saw 23 targets and averaged 15.1 PPR points with Foles as the starter the first two weeks of the season, stays as a top option at tight end.

From John Paulsen: "Foles’s productivity has been all over the place in eight starts since 2017, including the playoffs. He was obviously great in last year’s postseason, but in two starts this year, he had a bad game against Atlanta (117 passing yards, one interception) before a pretty productive game against the Buccaneers (334 yards and a touchdown). In the seven starts since 2017 where he attempted at least 30 passes, he averaged 260 yards and 1.71 touchdowns against just 0.43 interceptions, but owners are warned against expecting too much in a tough spot against a surging Rams defense. The magic seems to be gone from this offense, though the Eagles may be forced to throw the ball a ton if/when they fall behind early against the Rams."

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson still has thumb issues

Greg Auman on Twitter

Dec 11, 2018 · 9:20 PM EST

DeSean Jackson hasn’t played last two games due to thumb injury. Had it immobilized tonight, said he’s still hopeful to play this season.

Related players Adam Humphries, Chris Godwin

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet went on to say Jackson hasn't able to squeeze the ball at all with his injured hand. As a result, he seems unlikely to be ready to go for Week 15. Humphries and Godwin will take up his targets but it's a tough matchup against the Ravens.

Chiefs WR Kelvin Benjamin likely won't see extended time

KansasCity.com

Dec 11, 2018 · 9:16 PM EST

It’s unlikely Kelvin Benjamin will play an extended amount of time on Thursday, but the Chiefs’ offense may need help at wide receiver with Sammy Watkins sidelined with a foot injury and leading receiver Tyreek Hill limited in practice this week after sustaining a heel injury last weekend against Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Benjamin had his first practice last Friday, but could factor in against the Chargers. He also may not even be active. Obviously he can't be trusted as a fantasy option just yet.

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) doesn't practice Tuesday

Sports Illustrated

Dec 11, 2018 · 5:48 PM EST

Spencer Ware was out because of the shoulder on Tuesday, as well as a hamstring issue that popped up in the win over the Ravens.

Related players: Damien Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Ware could still play in Week 15, but Wednesday’s practice is now an imperative for him. If he misses that session, fantasy owners will have to plan on going in a different direction, as the story said. Williams may be a guy to add if he's still on your wire.

Raiders release RB C.J. Anderson

Field Yates on Twitter

Dec 11, 2018 · 5:43 PM EST

Source: the Raiders have released RB C.J. Anderson. Short stay in Oakland.

Fantasy Impact:

With Doug Martin back in the fold and healthy, as the tweet went on to say, it's a short stay for Anderson in Oakland.

Eagles place RB Corey Clement on IR

John Clark on Twitter

Dec 11, 2018 · 5:23 PM EST

Eagles have placed Corey Clement and Josh Sweat on injured reserve.

Related players: Josh Adams, Wendell Smallwood, Boston Scott

Fantasy Impact:

Clement was just starting to show signs of life after being hurt much of this season. Allen should see most of the early-down touches with Smallwood now seeing a role as a change of pace and passing down back. The team recently sign Scott from the Saints who is also more of a pass-catching option. The Eagles just don't seem to consistently run the ball enough to make any of these RBs must-have options right now.

Jets RBs don't practice Tuesday

New York Jets on Twitter

Dec 11, 2018 · 5:18 PM EST

Did not practice today:
- OLB Jordan Jenkins (shoulder/ankle)
- WR Quincy Enunwa (ankle)
- RB Isaiah Crowell (toe)
- RB Eli McGuire (ankle)
- RB Trenton Cannon (toe)
- OLB Jeremiah Attaochu (concussion)

Fantasy Impact:

Other reports said Crowell was spotted in a walking boot Tuesday, and obviously it remains to be seen who out of this group may or not be able to suit up. The Jets take on Houston in Week 15, and the team may have to make a move at RB at some point.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) to be game-time call

ESPN

Dec 11, 2018 · 5:15 PM EST

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon said he expects the decision on whether he plays Thursday night in a nationally televised game against the Kansas City Chiefs to go all the way until game time.

Related players: Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon said he feels better than he did last week but the decision would be a mutual one between Gordon, Chargers brass and the medical staff. With Ekeler suffering a stinger and looking doubtful for Thursday, Jackson would either be the team's RB2, or the bellcow if Gordon can't go.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel) practices Tuesday

Adam Teicher on Twitter

Dec 11, 2018 · 5:10 PM EST

Tyreek Hill will practice today for the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact:

Teicher went on to say, "We'll see later how much he does," meaning Hill could be limited. But, it's at least a good sign he's back on a short week. Hill told Peter King his foot was 'bad' but signs Monday pointed to his injury being not that serious.

Vikings fire OC John DeFilippo

Pro Football Talk

Dec 11, 2018 · 12:32 PM EST

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Vikings have fired the first-year offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, with three games left in the regular season.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say, DeFilippo was pegged by many in the media as a favorite for a head-coaching gig in 2019, but had become the focal point of rampant criticism for his refusal to embrace the run, and for the overall ineffectiveness of the offense. Last night’s loss to the Seahawks became the low point for the 2017 NFC finalists. QB coach Kevin Stefanski will take over the OC duties.

Chargers not optimistic RBs Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler play Week 15

Steve Wyche on Twitter

Dec 11, 2018 · 11:57 AM EST

The Chargers are not optimistic that running backs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck, concussion) will be ready for Thursday's huge AFC West matchup at Kansas City, HC Anthony Lynn told me.

Related players: Justin Jackson, Detrez Newsome

Fantasy Impact:

The short week comes at a tough time for the Chargers. Jackson needs to be added if he happens to still be on your wire. He'll get a nice matchup and a potential big workload against the Chiefs, which could end up as a high scoring game. Newsome will likely get some work as well.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) expects to play Week 15

Aditi Kinkhabwala on Twitter

Dec 11, 2018 · 11:53 AM EST

Ben Roethlisberger says on his radio show, “No, no, I don’t think so,” when asked if there’s any reason he wouldn’t play Sunday vs the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact:

Roethlisberger left the game for a bit in Week 14 against the Raiders because of the rib injury but did return, so he should be able to go in Week 15 against the Patriots. It's a big game for the Steelers, who suddenly find themselves in a tough spot with the Patriots and Saints as opponents over the next two weeks.

Falcons would consider resigning RB Tevin Coleman

ESPN

Dec 11, 2018 · 9:31 AM EST

At the end of last season, Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said he could envision a scenario in which the team would re-sign running back Tevin Coleman, even after inking starter Devonta Freeman to a long-term contract.

That scenario remains a possibility, according to coach Dan Quinn.

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman has had a variety of injuries, like concussions and knee problems, so there have been some questions about his durability. The story added there are issues on the offensive line as well, but, it remains to be seen if the Falcons can afford to keep both backs.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon to get season-ending knee surgery

ESPN

Dec 11, 2018 · 9:25 AM EST

For the second time in as many seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, receiver Pierre Garcon will end his season on injured reserve after appearing in just eight games.

Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Garcon is set to have arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday, and the team will place him on season-ending IR later this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Garcon has not played for the Niners since a Week 9 win against the Oakland Raiders because of lingering knee issues that flared up in Week 6.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler still dealing with a stinger

USA Today

Dec 11, 2018 · 9:22 AM EST

Yesterday, we wrote that Chargers running back Austin Ekeler aggravated a neck injury. Ekeler got banged up on an onside kick attempt late in the fourth quarter. It wasn’t certain on what the injury was at first, but it appears like it was the same stinger that limited him at a practice last month. He didn’t play on the team’s final offensive drive. Today, the status of Ekeler was updated, per ESPN’s Eric Williams.

According to Williams, Chargers announce Austin Ekeler was evaluated for a stinger neck injury and also evaluated for concussion in the tent on the field Sunday. Ekeler was cleared for a concussion and is not in concussion protocol. He is day to day.

Related players: Justin Jackson, Melvin Gordon

Fantasy Impact:

Ekeler and Gordon both didn't practice on Monday leading up to Thursday night's game against the Chiefs. Gordon seems to have a better chance to play at this point, at least according to reports, but a lot still seems up in the air. Obviously if both can't suit up, Jackson would become the workhorse back, but this may not sort itself out until 90 minutes before the game.

Eagles expected to sign RB Boston Scott

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 7:11 PM EST

The Eagles are expected to sign RB Boston Scott off the Saints practice squad in the wake of Corey Clement’s knee injury, sources say.

Related players: Josh Adams, Wendell Smallwood

Fantasy Impact:

Scott could take on more of a pass-catching role with Clement seemingly going to miss time after suffering a knee injury against Dallas.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill's foot injury 'nothing serious'

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 4:23 PM EST

A further examination of the foot injury that Chiefs’ WR Tyreek Hill sustained Sunday showed “nothing serious” and he now will be considered “day to day”, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Earlier today we reported Hill said the injury was 'bad' when talking to Peter King after the game against the Ravens. But, this update seems like good news, especially since Hill was able to continue playing in Week 14. The Chiefs play this Thursday night and perhaps this news at least makes Hill a possibility to suit up.

Harbaugh: Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon's role to grow

Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 4:20 PM EST

Harbaugh said that he expects RB Kenneth Dixon's role to grow going forward.

Related players: Ty Montgomery, Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dixon ran hard and well Sunday, according to Zrebiec. It wasn't quite an even split, but Edwards, Montgomery and Dixon all played a similar amount of snaps, he said. Edwards played 31 snaps to Dixon's 23, but perhaps going forward this will be more even.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) expected to be OK

Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 4:16 PM EST

Harbaugh says Lamar Jackson "should be fine. Looks like he's OK. I think he's going to be OK."

Related players: Joe Flacco

Fantasy Impact:

Zrebiec went to tweet that if Flacco is ready to go, Harbaugh said "he'll be part of the game plan." It seems to open the door for the possibility the Ravens use both QBs in the same game, as was hinted at a few weeks ago. That would obviously create a fantasy nightmare for owners who were counting on using Jackson. Hopefully we'll know more as the week goes on, but the Ravens may also not come clean about their plans either.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed's foot injury not considered serious

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 4:09 PM EST

Redskins TE Jordan Reed, who suffered a foot sprain in Sunday’s loss, is having a precautionary MRI. The injury isn’t believed to be major.

Related players: Vernon Davis

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport went on to say that given the timing of it, Reed may have played his last down this season with three games to go. Davis would be a potential pickup, but given the struggles at QB it's hard to trust anyone on the Redskins right now.

Raiders fire GM Reggie McKenzie

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 4:04 PM EST

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie had a meeting with his scouts today where he informed them he was fired, per me and Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport went on to say McKenzie was given the chance to stay the season, but is not expected to do so. Many wondered if McKenzie could work with Jon Gruden. McKenzie drafted guys like Amari Cooper, David Carr and Khalil Mack, but many feel his picks since a solid 2014 draft haven't been great.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy battling hamstring injury

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 2:33 PM EST

Bills RB LeSean McCoy is day-to-day with a hamstring strain, source said following his MRI.

Related players: Marcus Murphy, Chris Ivory

Fantasy Impact:

His availability will be watched closely throughout the week, Rapoport went on to say in the tweet. Ivory would likely get a bulk of the work with Murphy also mixing in like this past week after McCoy went down. QB Josh Allen actually rushed for over 100 yards and a TD on nine attempts. The Bills host Detroit in an early Sunday game in Week 15.

Giants WR Odell Beckham (quad) feeling 'a lot better'

Paul Schwartz on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 1:23 PM EST

Pat Shurmur said Odell Beckham Jr. came in today and “felt a lot better.”

Fantasy Impact:

Of course Beckham Is dealing with bruised quad and didn't play in Week 14. “We’ll see where that takes us.” Shurmur said via the tweet. Seems like much better news for Beckham owners this week, but obviously we'll have to monitor practice. The Giants take on the Titans on Sunday in an early game.

Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) 'sore' but walking

Adam Beasley on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 12:03 PM EST

Adam Gase said Ryan Tannehill is "sore" but "he's walking around."

Related players: Brock Osweiler

Fantasy Impact:

As we reported yesterday, Tannehill was battling an ankle injury during yesterday's game and even missed some time but did return. It's a tough matchup for Week 15 on the road in Minnesota but the Dolphins are battling for their playoff lives.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill says foot injury is 'bad'

Pro Football Talk

Dec 10, 2018 · 11:52 AM EST

And Tyreek Hill was a wounded animal. “My foot’s bad,” he’d say after the game.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite the injury, Hill, who was in and out of the game, stilled collected eight catches for 139 yards. It's possibly good news that Hill was able to play through the injured foot and still put up fantasy numbers. But, now we'll have to see how his foot reacts early this week. The bad news is the Chiefs play Thursday night so it's a quick turnaround.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldin's status up in the air for MNF

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 9:24 AM EST

Seahawks’ WR Doug Baldwin, who did not practice this week due to a groin injury, is listed as questionable for tonight’s game vs Vikings.

Related players: Tyler Lockett, David Moore, Jaron Brown

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter went on to say in the tweet: Asked if Baldwin would play tonight, one source said: “I wouldn’t think so, but you never know with Doug. I’m sure he will try.” If Baldwin can't go Moore and Brown could see a bump in snaps and touches, but it's a tough matchup against the Vikings tonight.

Chargers RB Ausin Ekeler (stinger) in question for Week 15

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 10, 2018 · 9:20 AM EST

After recently dealing with stingers, Chargers’ RB Austin Ekeler aggravated the injury today and will require further testing, per source.

Related players: Melvin Gordon, Justin Jackson

Fantasy Impact:

With a game Thursday night vs. the Chiefs, the short week will make it tough for Ekeler to be ready, Schefter went on to say. Gordon could very well be back for this game, keeping Jackson as the RB2. However with Gordon back, Jackson's overall value probably takes a hit. That said, he had nine total touches for just 35 yards in Week 14 which wasn't want owners were hoping for when grabbing him off the wire.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) doesn't start second half

NFL.com

Dec 09, 2018 · 7:07 PM EST

The Pittsburgh Steelers started the second half of Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Roethlisberger suffered a rib injury in the first half and remained in the locker room for evaluation, the Steelers announced. Roethlisberger is questionable to return, and backup Josh Dobbs opened the third quarter under center.

Fantasy Impact:

The exact point when the Roethlisberger suffered the injury is unclear, but he took a shot at the 5:15 mark of the second quarter when Raiders defensive tackle Clinton McDonald sacked him for a 6-yard loss. FOX Sports' replay showed McDonald land on Roethlisberger after the hit, the story said.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill, RB Spencer Ware return after injuries

Fox 4 Kansas City

Dec 09, 2018 · 6:08 PM EST

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill and running back Spencer Ware both returned in Kansas City’s game against Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact:

Hill hurt his heel late in the second quarter and went to the locker room ahead of his teammates before halftime. He also hurt his wrist in the first half, though he played through that injury. Ware hurt his right shoulder.

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell leaves Week 14 with injury

Andrew Siciliano on Twitter

Dec 09, 2018 · 6:03 PM EST

Isaiah Crowell to the locker room.

Related players: Elijah McGuire, Trenton Cannon

Fantasy Impact:

There isn't a lot out there about Crowell's injury, but it very well could be the toe that had him questionable heading into the game. Both McGuire and Cannon had TDs in the game, but it was McGuire who had 17 carries for 60 yards and added three catches for 23 more yards.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (foot) knocked out of Week 14

Washington Post

Dec 09, 2018 · 5:56 PM EST

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed left the team’s game Sunday against the Giants with a foot injury and will not return.

Reed went to the sideline midway through the first quarter and was treated by the staff on the bench before slowly limping to the locker room with assistance from two staff members. He was originally ruled doubtful to return and was downgraded to out at halftime.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, Reed has been injury-prone throughout his career, but he hadn’t been sidelined in the first 12 games before Sunday’s foot injury. He had surgery on both big toes during the offseason and was held out for most of the preseason.

Jets QB Sam Darnold returns after foot injury

Democrat and Chronicle

Dec 09, 2018 · 5:53 PM EST

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold returned Sunday after missing a month with a foot injury. His return was almost short-lived.

Darnold limped into the locker room with another foot injury after one series against the Buffalo Bills at New Era Field. Darnold didn't attempt a pass and had one carry for 9 yards on New York's first possession. Josh McCown, who had started the last three games in Darnold's absence, replaced the rookie quarterback for a series.

Fantasy Impact:

Darnold was originally ruled as questionable but returned under center at the end of the first quarter. The Jets wouldn't confirm if it was the same foot he injured earlier this season against the Miami Dolphins.

Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill returns after ankle injury

Ryan Tannehill left the Dolphins-Patriots game late in the first half after Ja’Wuan James accidentally stepped on his right foot on a sack.

Related players: Brock Osweiler

Fantasy Impact:

Tannehill stayed down briefly before walking off under his own power. He had a noticeable limp, appearing to favor his right foot or ankle. But, he was the first Dolphins player out of the locker room, and after testing out the injury during a brief warm-up, returned to the game. He finished the game with three TDs.

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot, doubtful) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is doubtful for Week 14. He suffered a setback with his foot and will miss another 4-5 weeks, so Chris Conley will have a chance to continue playing increased snaps and targets. The Chiefs signed Kelvin Benjamin, but he’ll probably serve as depth.

Dec 07, 2018 · 7:05 PM EST

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 14. This is great news for Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries owners. Godwin has averaged 5.0 receptions for 103 yards and 0.67 touchdowns. As for Humphries, he has scored at least 14.6 fantasy points (PPR) in five of his last six games and is averaging 6.8 targets per game in that span. And most of that was with a healthy Jackson in the lineup. The Saints’ stingy rush defense should funnel yards to the passing game.

Dec 07, 2018 · 7:05 PM EST

Raiders RB Doug Martin (knee, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 14. The Raiders play late which creates a dicey situation for owners hoping to use Martin.

Dec 07, 2018 · 7:05 PM EST

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 14. Out of the playoff hunt, the Lions don’t have much incentive to rush Johnson back to action. LeGarrette Blount is a Sneaky Start against a shaky Arizona rush defense. Theo Riddick is also worth a look in PPR formats.

Dec 07, 2018 · 7:05 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 14. Conner has been ruled out for Week 14, and Mike Tomlin has indicated that the Steelers will use a committee to replace him. That committee should be led by Samuels, who is the only Steeler running back other than Conner to touch the ball in the last two weeks. Stevan Ridley should also get a chance to carry the ball in a change-of-pace capacity. Surprisingly, the Raiders defense limited the Chiefs RBs to 97 total yards and a touchdown last week, but they gave up 184 total yards to Baltimore running backs, 157 total yards to David Johnson and 165 total yards and a touchdown to Melvin Gordon in recent weeks.

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (back, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 14. Stafford should be able to play through the back injury, but he’s not a good start due to depleted weapons and Patrick Peterson’s shadow coverage on Kenny Golladay.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) took full practice reps...

Dec 07, 2018 · 7:05 PM EST

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) took full practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go for Week 14. It will be his first game in the post-Mike McCarthy era. It’s a nice matchup against the Falcons, so we’re expecting a nice fantasy line from Rodgers.

Dec 07, 2018 · 7:05 PM EST

Patriots QB Tom Brady (knee) was removed from the injury report Friday. He’s good to go for Week 14. He hasn’t been his usual self this year but this is a good spot for him against a shaky Dolphins pass defense.

Dec 07, 2018 · 7:05 PM EST

Bills QB Derek Anderson (concussion, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 14.

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins out 4-6 weeks

Sam Mellinger on Twitter

Dec 07, 2018 · 5:30 PM EST

KC Star columnist Sam Mellinger reported Friday, "Update: Sammy Watkins is out 4-6 weeks, according to a source."

Fantasy Impact:

With Watkins having a setback with his foot, Chris Conley gets pushed up the depth chart and will start opposite Tyreek Hill. We expect him to be more of a WR4 as Hill and Travis Kelce go from elite options to elite options with even more secure volume. Kelvin Benjamin, who signed with the Chiefs but won't play this week, isn't worth a pickup in all but the deepest of leagues.

Titans TE Jonnu Smith out for the rest of the season

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 07, 2018 · 5:15 PM EST

Adam Schefter is reporting Jonnu Smith (knee) is going to miss the rest of the season with an MCL injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith showed some things late in the season, perhaps setting himself up for a successful NFL future. For now, owners lose a viable streamer without his loss really boosting the stock of anybody else on the Titans roster. This is the definition of a lose-lose situation for fantasy owners, the team, and most importantly, Smith himself.

Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky to start Week 14

Bears PR Twitter

Dec 07, 2018 · 5:09 PM EST

The Bears indicated Friday that Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) is a full go for Week 14 against the Rams in what promises to be a major showdown on Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact:

Chase Daniel did an OK job filling in, but lacked the ultimate upside of Trubisky, who slots in as a top-10 option this week. Allen Robinson gets a boost and is a viable, if volatile, WR2. Taylor Gabriel is flex-worthy.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson OUT for Week 14

Buccaneers official injury report

Dec 07, 2018 · 5:06 PM EST

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have declared wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hand, thumb) as out for Week 14 against the Saints.

Fantasy Impact:

Fire up Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin with fervor! Without Jackson last week, the two combined for 12 receptions, 172 yards and two scores. Both players fall into the top-18 in this week's wide receiver rankings.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon is OUT for Week 14

49ers official injury report

Dec 07, 2018 · 5:04 PM EST

The 49ers have declared wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) as out for Week 14. Marquise Goodwin is expected to make his return.

Fantasy Impact:

Garcon's absence should keep Dante Pettis relevant in fantasy leagues for at least one more week. Without Garcon and Goodwin the last two weeks, Pettis has scored three times on his way 13.7 and 24.7 PPR points. He should maintain a big enough role to be a viable flex play in most leagues.

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson OUT for Week 14

Lions official injury report

Dec 07, 2018 · 5:01 PM EST

The Lions have declared running back Keryyon Johnson (knee) as out for Week 14 against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

LeGarrette Blount will carry the load in a game the Lions should at least be competitive in. He is a RB3 who will likely need to score to help your fantasy team. Theo Riddick will maintain his regular role as a low-end RB2 at best.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon OUT for Week 14

Chargers official Twitter

Dec 07, 2018 · 4:57 PM EST

The Chargers have declared running back Melvin Gordon (knee) out for Week 14.

Fantasy Impact:

According to Jaoh Paulsen, "Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson should form a committee in a great matchup against the Bengals. Cincy has yielded 159 total yards and two touchdowns to Phillip Lindsay last week, 128/2 to Nick Chubb in Week 12, 135/2 to Baltimore running backs in Week 11 and 264/3 to Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram in Week 10. Jackson was more effective as a runner last week, so he may see a few extra carries in Week 14 with Ekeler serving mainly as a pass-catcher."

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Watkins might be able to make his return this week against the Ravens. He would slide in the rankings as a fantasy WR3/WR4 if he’s able to play.

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (achilles) was removed from the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps Wednesday. He has been placed on injured reserve with an Achilles tear. Courtland Sutton looks like a WR2 moving forward, while DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick will round out Denver’s three-receiver sets.

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Falcons WR Julio Jones (foot) missed practice again Thursday. Jones’s continued absence is getting a little worrisome. We’ll see what he’s able to do on Friday, but the Falcons are out of the playoff hunt, so there’s no reason for Jones to play through an injury.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) missed practice ag...

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) missed practice again Thursday. At this point it looks like Jackson will sit, which is great news for Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries owners. Godwin has averaged 5.0 receptions for 103 yards and 0.67 touchdowns. As for Humphries, he has scored at least 14.6 fantasy points (PPR) in five of his last six games and is averaging 6.8 targets per game in that span. And most of that was with a healthy Jackson in the lineup. The Saints’ stingy rush defense should funnel yards to the passing game.

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) took limited practice reps again Thursday. It looks like he’ll be able to play. This is a new injury for Mixon, so we’ll monitor his status the rest of the week. If he can’t play, Gio Bernard would shoot up the rankings into RB2 territory.

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Out of the playoff hunt, the Lions don’t have much incentive to rush Johnson back to action. LeGarrette Blount is a Sneaky Start against a shaky Arizona rush defense. Theo Riddick is also worth a look in PPR formats.

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Gordon has a sprained MCL so we expect him to miss another week, especially considering the opponent (Cincinnati) and capable play from backups Autin Ekeler and Justin Jackson, who would both be Sneaky Starts if Gordon sits.

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell (toe) missed practice again Thursday. Coming off of a big game, Crowell looks iffy for Week 14. He’d be a decent start against the Bills, if he can play. If he can’t play Elijah McGuire would be an intriguing start against the Bills.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) missed practice again ...

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) missed practice again Thursday. Conner has been ruled out for Week 14, and Mike Tomlin has indicated that the Steelers will use a committee to replace him. That committee should be led by Samuels, who is the only Steeler running back not named Conner to touch the ball in the last two weeks. Stevan Ridley should also get a chance to carry the ball in a change-of-pace capacity. Surprisingly, the Raiders defense limited the Chiefs RBs to 97 total yards and a touchdown last week, but they gave up 184 total yards to Baltimore running backs, 157 total yards to David Johnson and 165 total yards and a touchdown to Melvin Gordon in recent weeks.

Dec 06, 2018 · 7:04 PM EST

Giants TE Evan Engram practicing in full

Giants Official Practice Report

Dec 06, 2018 · 3:32 PM EST

The Giants have listed tight end Evan Engram as a full participant in Thursday's practice session.

Fantasy Impact:

With only two games above nine points in PPR leagues, Engram hasn't been all that productive when healthy. He will return to his role as the third or fourth option for the Giants and the mid-range TE2 status that workload has brought him.

Falcons WR Julio Jones will not practice today but is expected to play Sunday

William McFadden on Twitter

Dec 06, 2018 · 12:54 PM EST

Julio Jones will not practice fully today. Dan Quinn says "his foot was still sore." Does anticipate him to play Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

If Julio is on the field this Sunday, he is still a must-start; John Paulsen has Jones ranked in the top-10 this week.

Jets QB Sam Darnold to start on Sunday

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 06, 2018 · 12:52 PM EST

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network fame, Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is going to start this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Darnold is not even a low-end streaming option in a tough matchup against the Bills and their number one ranked defense against quarterbacks according to aFPA.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Watkins might be able to make his return this week against the Ravens. He would slide in the rankings as a fantasy WR3/WR4 if he’s able to play.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Saints WR Michael Thomas (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Thomas is probably just getting a day off with a sore ankle. He should be out there against the Bucs.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (achilles) took limited practice reps Wednesday. He has been placed on injured reserve with an Achilles tear. Courtland Sutton looks like a WR2 moving forward, while DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick will round out Denver’s three-receiver sets.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Falcons WR Julio Jones (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Jones should be fine to play, but the 4-8 Falcons are out of the playoff hunt, and we’re getting to the time of year where teams may shut their stars down if they’re dealing with nagging injuries. Stay tuned.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) did not practice Wednesday. At this point it looks like Jackson will sit, which is great news for Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries owners. Godwin has averaged 5.0 receptions for 103 yards and 0.67 touchdowns. As for Humphries, he has scored at least 14.6 fantasy points (PPR) in five of his last six games and is averaging 6.8 targets per game in that span. And most of that was with a healthy Jackson in the lineup. The Saints’ stingy rush defense should funnel yards to the passing game.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) took limited practice reps Wednesday. This is a new injury for Mixon, so we’ll monitor his status the rest of the week. If he can’t play, Gio Bernard would shoot up the rankings into RB2 territory.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Out of the playoff hunt, the Lions don’t have much incentive to rush Johnson back to action. LeGarrette Blount is a Sneaky Start against a shaky Arizona rush defense. Theo Riddick is also worth a look in PPR formats.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Gordon has a sprained MCL so we expect him to miss another week, especially considering the opponent (Cincinnati) and capable play from backups Autin Ekeler and Justin Jackson, who would both be Sneaky Starts if Gordon sits.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Drake should be able to play through the shoulder injury. He has seven catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns since Ryan Tannehill returned two weeks ago.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell (toe) did not practice Wednesday. Coming off of a big game, Crowell looks iffy for Week 14. He’d be a decent start against the Bills, if he can play.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) did not practice Wedne...

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Conner has been ruled out for Week 14, and Mike Tomlin has indicated that the Steelers will use a committee to replace him. That committee should be led by Samuels, who is the only Steeler running back not named Conner to touch the ball in the last two weeks. Stevan Ridley should also get a chance to carry the ball in a change-of-pace capacity. Surprisingly, the Raiders defense limited the Chiefs RBs to 97 total yards and a touchdown last week, but they gave up 184 total yards to Baltimore running backs, 157 total yards to David Johnson and 165 total yards and a touchdown to Melvin Gordon in recent weeks.

Dec 05, 2018 · 6:43 PM EST

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (right hand) practiced fully Wednesday. Since his Week 8 bye, which allowed his throwing elbow to fully heal, Mariota has scored at least 21.3 fantasy points in four of five games. This week’s matchup against the Jaguars is a little daunting, but the Jacksonville defense has been spotty of late.

Falcons WR Julio Jones sits out practice with a foot issue

ESPN

Dec 05, 2018 · 4:48 PM EST

Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports, "Falcons coach Dan Quinn was asked about the health of the team today and didn't indicate any concern about wide receiver Julio Jones, who sat out Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. We'll see if Jones return to action Thursday. Jones was out on the practice field at the start but apparently didn't do anything. He's coming off a season-low two catches for 18 yards against the Ravens. Jones came out of the game briefly last week but ended up playing 41 of 53 offensive snaps."

Fantasy Impact:

Quinn may not be worried, but fantasy owners can't help but be a little nervous. If Jones' foot ends up being a legitimate issue, Calvin Ridley will get a massive bump. So too will Austin Hooper and Mohamed Sanu. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, though. Thursday should bring more information.

Raiders RB Doug Martin uncertain for Week 14 with a knee injury

Scott Blair on Twitter

Dec 05, 2018 · 4:44 PM EST

According to Scott Blair of NBC, "Doug Martin has an injured knee. (Coach John) Gruden says his status is uncertain for Sunday. (The) Raiders needed another runner, which is why they signed C.J. Anderson."

Fantasy Impact:

If Martin sits, Jalen Richard is the guy to target in Oakland. Anderson likely won't have time to get up to speed enough to see more than a few touches, potentially thrusting Richard into a three-down role. That sort of usage would put him on the RB2 radar.

Bengals WR A.J. Green moved to IR

Pro Football Talk

Dec 05, 2018 · 4:41 PM EST

Bengals star wide receiver A.J. Green has been placed on injured reserve with a toe injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Welp, this makes it official. The Bengals will continue on with Tyler Boyd, John Ross and C.J. Uzomah as their top three pass-catching options. While Uzomah has some low-upside streaming appeal, Boyd is the only one of the group you should be happy starting.

Report: Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders has a torn Achilles

Mike Klis

Dec 05, 2018 · 3:30 PM EST

Terrible news: Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders has torn Achilles, per source. Happened right in front of me at practice. He was cutting in on shallow in-route against air when he went down.

Fantasy Impact:

The Broncos will probably utilize a raw three-receiver set consisting of Courtland Sutton and the 6’4” Tim Patrick outside, and DaeSean Hamilton playing for Sanders in the slot. It’s an upgrade for all three players, but it’s hard to get too excited about Patrick or Hamilton given the combined nine catches for 134 yards and a touchdown they have this season. Sutton looks like a sold WR2 moving forward. Consider Hamilton and Patrick to be upside WR5s pending playing time and usage. In the preseason, Patrick caught six passes for 70 yards while Hamilton nabbed three balls for 36 yards.

Raiders signing RB C.J. Anderson

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 04, 2018 · 8:23 PM EST

Raiders are signing former Broncos and Panthers RB C.J. Anderson, per source.

Related players: Doug Martin, Jalen Richard

Fantasy Impact:

Anderson will likely still be behind Martin and Richard in the RB pecking order, so he shouldn't have immediate fantasy value, if any, this season.

Rams RB Malcolm Brown (clavicle) to at least miss rest of regular season

USA Today

Dec 04, 2018 · 8:19 PM EST

The Los Angeles Rams will be without their backup running back for at least the remainder of the regular season. According to Mike Garafolo, Malcolm Brown is out for the rest of the season, though his status for the postseason is up in the air.

Related players: John Kelly, Justin Davis, Todd Gurley

Fantasy Impact:

Brown suffered a clavicle injury against the Lions and underwent a procedure on Monday to repair it. With Brown out, Kelly and Davis will need to step up. Only Davis has been active this season (eight games) but has yet to receive a single carry, the story said. It's possible if the Rams wrap things up sooner than later, Kelly and/or Davis could see some time during the fantasy playoffs, so this is a key bit of news for Gurley owners.

Redskins hoping to sign QB Josh Johnson

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 04, 2018 · 6:37 PM EST

Despite working out FA QBs Landry Jones and Ryan Mallett today, the Redskins actually hope to sign QB Josh Johnson, I’m told.

Related players: Mark Sanchez

Fantasy Impact:

As the rest of Rapoport's tweet went on say, there are some things to work out first. Johnson is also the first pick of the San Diego Fleet of the Alliance of American Football, so he will at least temporarily need to get out of that to back up Sanchez.

Texans activate RB D'Onta Foreman

Houston Chronicle

Dec 04, 2018 · 6:28 PM EST

The Texans activated former University of Texas running back DOnta Foreman from the reserve-physically unable to perform list, a transaction that should bolster an already strong running game.

Related players: Lamar Miller, Alfred Blue

Fantasy Impact:

Foreman has made a full recovery from a torn Achilles tendon. He said last week he has regained his explosiveness and cutting ability. The Texans had until Thursday to activate Foreman, according to the story. The Texans have been running the ball well lately with Miller and Blue so Foreman may not have much fantasy value the rest of this season.

Bills release WR Kelvin Benjamin

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 04, 2018 · 6:22 PM EST

The Bills just released veteran WR Andre Holmes and WR Kelvin Benjamin.

Fantasy Impact:

Benjamin has three catches and nine targets over the last three games, including a zero-catch performance in Week 10 against the Jets. Benjamin's only touchdown came in Week 2 against the Chargers and has just 23 catches for 354 yards this season.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) ruled out for Week 14

ESPN

Dec 04, 2018 · 1:26 PM EST

Steelers running back James Conner is out for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders with an ankle sprain.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the injury is "more significant" than the team originally thought. Tomlin classified the injury as a lower leg contusion after last week's 33-30 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Related players: Stevan Ridley, Trey Edmunds, Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers will roll into Oakland with rookie Samuels, veteran Ridley and Edmunds, who was promoted from the practice squad for depth. This week's practices will determine how Tomlin distributes the workload, the story said. Tomlin is claiming the team will use a committee approach, but was quoted in the story as saying Samuels has been "on the rise" in recent weeks. Samuels is looking like a must-add off the wire this week, especially with the possibility Conner misses multiple weeks.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson (finger) expected to play

ESPN

Dec 04, 2018 · 11:03 AM EST

The Seattle Seahawks don't expect running back Chris Carson to miss any time because of the finger that he dislocated Sunday.

Related players: Mike Davis, Rashaad Penny

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll said postgame that the injury was to Carson's index finger, and Carson said it required stitches, though neither seemed overly concerned that it could sideline him beyond the Niners game. Carroll confirmed Monday that it shouldn't.

Bears QB Mitch Trubisky feeling better

Chicago Tribune

Dec 04, 2018 · 10:59 AM EST

ears coach Matt Nagy wouldn’t say Monday whether he expects injured quarterback Mitch Trubisky to return to practice in full this week.

With the Bears preparing to host the Rams on Sunday night at Soldier Field, Trubisky’s availability will be a big deal. But Nagy kept his update at surface level during his news conference at Halas Hall.

Fantasy Impact:

Nagy was quoted in the story as saying Trubisky is getting better and feeling better. Trubisky has missed the last two games but resumed throwing last Friday before the team's game against the Giants.

Redskins turn to Mark Sanchez at QB after Colt McCoy breaks fibula

ESPN

Dec 04, 2018 · 10:54 AM EST

The Washington Redskins lost another quarterback. They lost another game, too. And a season that started to look promising a month ago now appears headed for a tough finish.

Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy broke his right fibula Monday in a 28-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, ending his season in only his second start this year. He's also the second Redskins starting quarterback to suffer such a fate. Alex Smith broke his fibula and tibia in Week 11.

Related players Mark Sanchez

Fantasy Impact:

Sanchez did not look good for the most part against the Eagles, but in reality he's had limited time to prepare and only learned a limited amount of plays. The Redskins will have to bring in another QB this week to backup Sanchez.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe) to get season-ending surgery

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Dec 03, 2018 · 8:17 PM EST

Bengals' WR A.J. Green is expected to undergo season-ending surgery on the torn ligaments in his toe.

Related players: Tyler Boyd, John Ross

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter went on to say surgery will sideline Green 3-4 months, but he is expected to have a full recovery and be ready for OTAs, per source.

49ers rule out RB Matt Breida (ankle) for Week 14

USA Today

Dec 03, 2018 · 8:14 PM EST

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday announced running back Matt Breida and safety Jaquiski Tartt will not play in the team’s Week 14 showdown with the Broncos.

Related players: Jeff Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Breida has been nursing an ankle injury since Week 5, but has only missed portions of games. He re-aggravated that ankle Sunday in Seattle and was limited to only 10 snaps. Wilson took a bulk of the snaps in Week 13 as Breida was injured in warmups. Wilson looks to be worth a pickup and appears on pace to again get a big chunk of the RB work.

Redskins RB Chris Thompson ACTIVE vs. Eagles on MNF

Dec 03, 2018 · 7:02 PM EST

Redskins Inactives
CB Quinton Dunbar
WR Trey Quinn
DL Matt Ioannidis
RB Byron Marshall
OT Austin Howard
RB Samaje Perine.

Related players: Chris Thompson

The Redskins only have 52 players on their roster and therefore only needed six inactives.

Fantasy Impact:

Thompson returns to action this week and likely continues to play behind Adrian Peterson in the run game. Thompson should get back to his third down, pass-catching role, but is probably a risky play his first week back.

Eagles RBs Josh Adams, Darren Sproles ACTIVE for MNF

Dec 03, 2018 · 6:58 PM EST

Eagles Inactives
LB Jordan Hicks
DB Avonte Maddox
OL Jordan Mailata
CB Jalen Mills (foot)
OL Matt Pryor
QB Nate Sudfeld
OL Chance Warmack.

Related players: Josh Adams, Darren Sproles

Fantasy Impact:

Sproles is active for the first time since Week 1 and should be used in a limited role in passing situations. Adams (hip) is also active and should get a bulk of the work. He's coming off 22 carries last week against the Giants and the Eagles have said they wanted to give him more chances.

Giants moved Kyle Lauletta up to QB2 for Week 13

NJ.com

Dec 03, 2018 · 4:48 PM EST

Pat Shurmur moved Kyle Lauletta up to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart and activated him Sunday ahead of 31-year-old veteran Alex Tanney, which seems like an indication the fourth-round pick is closer to being ready to go into a game and the Giants are getting more comfortable with the idea.

Related players: Eli Manning

Fantasy Impact:

The story speculated the Giants could use the Patrick Mahomes approach, and at least start Lauletta in Week 17 like the Chiefs did with Mahomes last year in Week 17. They eventually traded Alex Smith. The Giants are mathematically alive in the NFC East, so until they are eliminated the team is expected to stick with Manning at QB, according to the story. But the move to QB2 does seem to indicate the Giants may want to get a look at Lauletta before the season is over - much like the Chiefs did with Mahomes.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco (hip) to do more at practice this week

Pro Football Talk

Dec 03, 2018 · 4:41 PM EST

On Monday, head coach John Harbaugh said that it would be a few days before he knows if there will be a decision to make this week. Harbaugh said Joe Flacco will do more at practice this week before doctors decide if his hip is well enough for a return to game action.

Related players: Lamar Jackson

Fantasy Impact:

After the win over Atlanta, Harbaugh said Jackson has done enough to remain in the role as starter. But last week there were rumors the team could use both QBs in a game once Flacco is cleared to play. Harbaugh added the team would know more about Flacco's status at the end of this week.

Jets QB Sam Darnold was healthy enough to play Week 13

National Football Post

Dec 03, 2018 · 4:35 PM EST

Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold will be monitored in practice this week before the team determines whether he will start against the Buffalo Bills.

Coach Todd Bowles says during a conference call Monday that Darnold took “a great number” of snaps during practice last week and was healthy enough to play against Tennessee on Sunday. But, Bowles and the Jets chose to start Josh McCown because the rookie would have some rust after missing two games.

Fantasy Impact:

Darnold could have played last week but it was a timing issue, according to the Jets, and being a rookie with only three days to practice to get ready wasn't something the team felt comfortable with. While it's not official, it seems like Darnold should get the nod in Week 14.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (foot) spotted in walking boot

Fletcher Page on Twitter

Dec 03, 2018 · 4:29 PM EST

A.J. Green is wearing a protective boot today.

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet added Marvin Lewis offered no update on Green’s status. We may have to wait until Wednesday before we do get an update, but owners will likely have to be without Green for Week 14, possibly even for the rest of the season, according to some speculation. Green was carted off during Sunday's game.

Cardinals WR Christian Kirk (foot) placed on IR

ArizonaSports.com

Dec 03, 2018 · 4:23 PM EST

Cardinals receiver Christian Kirk will miss the rest of his rookie season due to a broken foot suffered in Arizona’s win Sunday over the Green Bay Packers, head coach Steve Wilks said on Monday. Kirk will be placed on the team’s injured reserve list.

Fantasy Impact:

Kirk will be fine for 2019 Wilks added. The team will now turn to Fitzgerald, Sherfield, Nelson and Williams, if he can return from an ankle injury. Kirk was leading the team in receiving yards before the injury.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley says shoulder is fine

Art Stapleton on Twitter

Dec 03, 2018 · 4:18 PM EST

Saquon Barkley said, “Shoulder feels really good. Feel nothing.”

Fantasy Impact:

Barkely left the game in the fourth quarter this past week and was checked out in the blue medical tent before eventually returning. Barkley should be good to go against the Redskins in Week 14, a team that did hold him in check earlier this season with 13 carries for 38 yards, but he did catch nine passes for 73 yards.

Chiefs sign RB Charcandrick West

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 03, 2018 · 3:06 PM EST

The Chiefs are expected to sign former RB Charcandrick West, sources say.

Related players: C.J. Anderson, Spencer Ware, Damien Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The move makes sense because West knows the playbook and will fit right in, filling the void created on the roster by Kareem Hunt. Rapoport went on to say his understanding is Anderson had a really good workout and is ready if needed. HC Andy Reid said he's ready to use a committee approach at RB, so West could get some carries but probably won't be fantasy relevant. West will likely be used more in the passing game.

Steelers say RB James Conner's (leg) injury not serious

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 03, 2018 · 12:23 PM EST

On Steelers RB James Conner: My understanding is the injury is not to his ankle and not considered major at all.

Related players: Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

Coach Mike Tomlin called it a contusion and it seems like he'll be OK, based on early impressions. How much it swells will be telling, Rapoport went on to say. An earlier report Monday suggested Conner could miss time because of the injury, but based on this it seems like Conner has a chance to play. But, owners may want to grab Samuels if they don't already own him. Whoever starts at RB will get a nice matchup against the Raiders in Week 14.

Steelers RB James Conner has lower leg contusion

ESPN

Dec 03, 2018 · 9:44 AM EST

Steelers running back James Conner suffered a right lower leg contusion in Pittsburgh's 33-30 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.

Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed the news in his postgame interview and didn't provide any additional information.

Related players: Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

While nothing is official, reports say Conner could end up missing some time, which would make Samuels an attractive add this week in fantasy leagues. Coming into this game, Samuels was averaging just over 9-percent of the snaps per game this season. He had five touches against the Chargers, but had only one total touch in Weeks 11 and 12.

Seahawks think RB Chris Carson (finger) will be 'OK'

John Boyle on Twitter

Dec 03, 2018 · 9:38 AM EST

Pete Carroll said Chris Carson dislocated his finger, but "should be OK."

Related players: Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny

Fantasy Impact:

Carson was injured in the fourth quarter so there wasn't a need to bring him back in the game with the contest in control. Penny stood out as the most productive fantasy back with a 7-65-1 line and Davis only had four touches.

Chiefs Beat: Team could end up using committee at RB

KansasCity.com

Dec 03, 2018 · 9:34 AM EST

Perhaps no one back will lug the workload of Kareem Hunt, who averaged nearly 17 attempts per game.

“I’m sure we’ll continue to rotate him,” Reid said of Spencer Ware. “I’ll go back and look at it. I mean that’s what we did today, trying to keep everyone fresh and going.”

Related players: Damien Williams, C.J. Anderson

Fantasy Impact:

Because of the late release of Hunt, the Chiefs didn't have a lot of time to change their game plan much. But it sounds like it could be a committee going forward. KC is bringing in, and expected to sign, Anderson who could be more of an RB3 option behind Ware and Williams. As of now, it's looking like maybe Ware's fantasy value won't measure up to the workload Hunt was getting. Williams could end up being used more on passing downs going forward as well.

49ers RB Matt Breida injured ankle in warmups

Eric Branch on Twitter

Dec 03, 2018 · 9:21 AM EST

Kyle Shanahan said RB Matt Breida aggravated ankle injury in pregame warmups.

Related players: Jeff Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Breida continues to battle through injuries. Wilson had a pretty big day, rushing 15 times for 61 yards and adding eight catches for 73 yards. Breida did see action when Wilson had to leave the game, but he would re-injure the ankle again and didn't return. Wilson seems like a player to add as we head into the fantasy playoffs.

Rams RB Malcolm Brown injures shoulder

USA Today

Dec 02, 2018 · 7:23 PM EST

The Los Angeles Rams made both Justin Davis and John Kelly inactive on Sunday, dressing only two running backs against the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, the already minimal depth was hurt in the first half as Malcolm Brown suffered a shoulder injury.

Related players: Todd Gurley

Fantasy Impact:

Brown left the game in the second quarter and shortly after the break, he was ruled out for the rest of the game. Brown usually doesn't see a lot of work, but he's a potential, key handcuff for Gurley owners, so it's a situation to monitor for the fantasy playoffs.

Packers fire head coach Mike McCarthy

NFL.com

Dec 02, 2018 · 7:14 PM EST

The Mike McCarthy era in Green Bay is over.

The Packers announced Sunday that they have fired the head coach of 13 seasons. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has been named interim coach.

Fantasy Impact:

Packers President and CEO Mike Murphy went on to say in a release, "The 2018 season has not lived up to the expectations and standards of the Green Bay Packers. As a result, I made the difficult decision to relieve Mike McCarthy of his role as head coach, effective immediately." McCarthy's firing came just hours after Green Bay fell to 4-7-1 with a loss to the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field.

Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) done for season

NFL.com

Dec 02, 2018 · 7:11 PM EST

The Carolina Panthers' treacherous trek to a potential postseason berth will have to be made without Greg Olsen on the field.

The veteran tight end said he suffered a ruptured plantar fascia during the Panthers' 24-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The injury brings Olsen's year to a premature end after a fracture in the same foot kept him out for three games earlier this season.

Related players: Chris Manhertz, Ian Thomas

Fantasy Impact:

Olsen's injury immediately robs the Panthers of one of their most valuable weapons on offense. It's also fair to wonder what might be next for the 33-year-old beyond this season, the story went on to say. Injuries to the same foot have limited the three-time Pro Bowler to 15 games over the last two seasons.

Fantasy Impact:

The return of Burkhead could affect both Sony Michel and James White, as Burkhead can handle carries and catch passes out of the backfield. The Pats also like him on special teams but it's yet another weapon in the Patriots arsenal. It may be best to at least wait a week to see how they utilize him before plugging him in lineups.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe) carted off in Week 13

New York Post

Dec 02, 2018 · 2:59 PM EST

Cincinnati receiver A.J. Green was carted off Sunday against Denver after aggravating a right toe injury that had sidelined him the previous three games.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury was the non-contact variety; he took two steps into a route, grabbed at his foot and collapsed to the ground. Green had one catch for 7 yards in the first quarter before the early second-quarter injury. This doesn't look good for Green owners, who should probably again prepare to be without Green, possibly for the remainder of this season.

Panthers TE Greg Olsen leaves with foot injury

Panthers.com

Dec 02, 2018 · 2:55 PM EST

Tight end Greg Olsen won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers because of a foot injury.

Related players: Chris Manhertz, Ian Thomas

Fantasy Impact:

Olsen injured his right foot early in the second quarter - the same foot that sidelined him earlier this season and much of last season. Right after a snap, Olsen pulled up without making any contact with another player and hobbled toward the Panthers sideline before going to the ground. He was carted off the field soon after and ruled out for the rest of the game very soon after.

Manhertz and Thomas will handle TE duties at least for the remainder of this game. Thomas of course took over for Olsen when he was out with a foot injury earlier this season but was unimpressive in terms of fantasy production.

MNF: Eagles RB Josh Adams added to injury report Saturday

Zach Berman

Dec 01, 2018 · 4:54 PM EST

Josh Adams was added to the injury report with a hip injury. He’s QUESTIONABLE for Monday.

NBC Sports Philly reports Adams is expected to play.

Fantasy Impact:

It's never good when a player is added to the injury report on the final day of the practice week. If you have Josh Adams in your starting lineup for a crucial match this week, move him to your FLEX if you can and/or considering keeping a bench spot open, in case we do not find out about his status until pre-game Monday. Corey Clement would be next in line for early down work, but Darren Sproles is also expected to return this week.

Ravens place RB Alex Collins on IR

Baltimore Ravens

Dec 01, 2018 · 1:28 PM EST

The Ravens have placed RB Alex Collins on the Injured Reserve list and activated RB Kenneth Dixon.

Fantasy Impact:

Gus Edwards has little to no competition for early down work now. Dixon will compete for change of pace duties with Javorius Allen and Ty Montgomery
